1. A method of manufacturing a plurality of test strips, comprising:
- forming a web containing a conductive layer and a base layer;
partially forming said plurality of test strips by electrically isolating a first group of conductive components in the conductive layer using a first process; and
subsequently forming said plurality of test strips by electrically isolating a second group of conductive components in the conductive layer using a second process wherein first and second processes are not the same.

Abstract
A method of manufacturing a plurality of test strips is described where a web is formed containing conductive and base layers. A plurality of test strips are formed on the web by electrically isolating a first group of conductive components. Subsequently, a second group of conductive components are electrically isolated on the web by a different process. A test card for quality control analysis is also described, where the test card includes a plurality of attached test strip traces.
