Patent Images
1. A method for manufacturing a test strip, comprising:
- selecting a test strip substrate material;
positioning the test strip substrate material a predetermined distance from a matrix material disposed on a second substrate, wherein at least one enzyme to be deposited on the test strip substrate and having glucose as an enzymatic substrate is held within the matrix material; and
directing a laser pulse towards the matrix material to release at least a portion of the at least one enzyme having glucose as an enzymatic substrate from the matrix material and deposit the enzyme on the test strip substrate.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a test strip is provided. The method comprises selecting a test strip substrate material and positioning the test strip substrate material a predetermined distance from a matrix material disposed on a second substrate, wherein at least one enzyme to be deposited on the test strip substrate and having glucose as an enzymatic substrate is held within the matrix material. A laser pulse is directed towards the matrix material to release at least a portion of the at least one enzyme having glucose as an enzymatic substrate from the matrix material and deposit the enzyme on the test strip substrate.
