Abstract:
1. A method of making an electrochemical test sensor configured to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, the method comprising the acts of: forming a plurality of electrodes on a test-sensor base, the plurality of electrodes including a working electrode and a counter electrode; forming a first test-sensor contact on the test-sensor base, the first test-sensor contact being coupled to the working electrode by a first conductive lead; and forming a second test-sensor contact on the test-sensor base, the second test-sensor contact being coupled to the counter electrode by a second conductive lead; after forming the first and second test-sensor contacts, determining calibration information to be used with the electrochemical test sensor; and after determining the calibration information, cutting at least one side or end of the test-sensor base based on the calibration information such that the positions of the first and second test-sensor contacts on of the test-sensor base correspond to the calibration information associated with the electrochemical test sensor.
