Abstract: A lancing device integrated with a sensing strip and method of making and using the same are provided. A lance and analyte sensing strip are combined in a single, preferably disposable, device. In a preferred embodiment, a slot is provided in a support member so the lance can be engaged by a lance driver and driven into the skin producing a bodily fluid sample from a wound. The sensing area of the sensing strip is adjacent to the wound location reducing dexterity requirements for patients.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of correcting a luminescence value, and methods of determining a corrected analyte concentration, by use of a device capable of providing a signal when a binding protein binds to at least one analyte, and a thermometer. The invention is also directed to systems which include such a device, and a processor for correcting measured luminescence of a reporter group based on a measured temperature. The invention is further directed to apparatuses that include a memory for storing luminescence information and temperature information, and a processor for correcting luminescence information. The invention is further directed to computer programs for executing the methods of the invention, and machine-readable storage medium on which programs are recorded.
