Abstract:
1. A method of making a plurality of calibration-adjusted sensors comprising: providing a plurality of pre-sensors, each pre-sensor comprising a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a sample chamber, wherein the sample chamber has at least part of the working electrode and the counter electrode arranged therein, wherein the plurality of pre-sensors includes at least a first pre-sensor and a second pre-sensor; physically modifying the first pre-sensor to form a first sensor, the first sensor having first physical characteristics defining a first slope and y-intercept; determining the first slope and the first y-intercept of the first sensor; comparing the first slope and y-intercept of the first sensor to a predetermined level of slopes and y-intercepts; and wherein when the first slope and y-intercept is within the predetermined level of slopes and y-intercepts, physically modifying the second pre-sensor to form a second sensor having a the first physical characteristics, wherein physically modifying the first pre-sensor and the second pre-sensor comprises modifying an electrode area in the sample chamber; or wherein when the first slope and y-intercept deviates outside the predetermined level of slopes and y-intercepts, physically modifying the second pre-sensor based on the deviation to provide a second sensor having second physical characteristics, the second physical characteristics defining a second slope and y-intercept of the second sensor that is within the predetermined level of slopes and y-intercepts, wherein physically modifying the first pre-sensor and the second pre-sensor comprises modifying an electrode area in the sample chamber.
