Patent ID: 8685229

Claim:
A method of manufacturing electrochemical biosensors of the same model, the biosensors each having an electrical pattern comprising several adjustment fingers extending directly into a sample receiving chamber of the biosensors, wherein the adjustment fingers can be individually disconnected from or connected to the electrical pattern to adjust the effective area of the electrical pattern, the method comprising: (a) producing first and second biosensors; (b) determining the dose-response curve of the first biosensor; (c) selecting the effective area of the electrical pattern of the second biosensor as a function of the dose-response curve of the first biosensor; and (d) connecting or disconnecting at least one of the several adjustment fingers of the second biosensor to achieve the selected effective area, wherein the dose-response curve of the second biosensor falls within a desired predetermined range; wherein the location of the connecting or disconnecting is outside of the sample receiving chamber and the disconnecting or connecting changes the effective area inside of the sample receiving chamber.
