1. A method for forming a test strip for measuring a concentration of an analyte of interest in a biological fluid, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a basic test strip design comprising;

    a substrate having a surface and at least one measurement electrode formed thereon;

    a plurality of conductive contact pads formed upon the substrate surface; and

    a plurality of potential conductive links conductively coupling members of the plurality of contact pads;

    wherein at least two of the potential conductive links occupy paths that cross one another;

    defining a set of valid test strip designs;

    wherein each one of the set of valid test strip designs incorporates none, one, or more than one of the plurality of potential conductive links;

    selecting one design from the set of valid test strip designs; and

    forming a test strip per the selected one design.
