1. A diagnostic test strip comprising:

  • an electrically insulating base layer;

    a conductive pattern formed on the base layer providing at least one electrode disposed on the base layer at a proximal region of the strip, electrical strip contacts disposed on the base layer at a distal region of the strip, conductive traces electrically connecting the electrodes to at least some of the electrical strip contacts, and a distinct distal conductive region provided distal to the electrical strip contacts;

    a reagent layer contacting at least a portion of at least one electrode; and

    an electrically insulating material including a pattern of apertures, the electrically insulating material being disposed over at least a portion of the distal conductive region such that the apertures expose a pattern of the underlying distal conductive region to at least partially form a distinct pattern readable to identify data particular to the test strip.
