1. A method for manufacturing a portion of an electrochemical-based test strip, the method comprising:
- forming at least one metal electrode on a surface of an electrically-insulating substrate, the at least one metal electrode having an upper surface;
treating the upper surface of the at least one metal electrode with a hydrophilicity-enhancing composition to form a treated upper surface on the metal electrode with hydrophilicity-enhancing chemical moieties thereon; and
depositing an enzymatic reagent layer on the treated upper surface of the at least one metal electrode.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a portion of an electrochemical-based test strip comprising includes forming a metal electrode(s) with an upper surface on a surface of an electrically-insulating substrate. The method also includes treating the upper surface of the metal electrode(s) with a hydrophilicity-enhancing composition to form a treated upper surface on the metal electrode with hydrophilicity-enhancing chemical moieties thereon and depositing an enzymatic reagent layer on the treated upper surface of the metal electrode(s).
