13. A biosensor strip for determining the concentration of an analyte in sample, the biosensor strip having a first side edge and an opposite side edge, comprising:
-
(a) a first substrate;
(b) a second substrate in covering relation to the first substrate;
(c) a sample chamber present between the first substrate and the second substrates;
(d) an electrode arrangement present between the first substrate and the second substrate and in the sample chamber;
(e) an incompressible element extending between the first side edge and the second side edge of the sensor in the sample chamber and forming an opening between the first substrate and the second substrate at one of the first side edge and the second side edge; and
(f) sensing chemistry proximate the incompressible element. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

37. A method of providing a sample to a sample chamber of a biosensor, the method comprising:
-
(a) contacting a side edge of the biosensor with the sample to provide sample through an opening into the sample chamber; and
(b) exposing the sample to sensing chemistry proximate an incompressible element in the sample chamber. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)

41. A method of manufacturing a sensor, the method comprising:
-
(a) positioning an incompressible element on a first substrate;
(b) overlying a second substrate over the first substrate and incompressible element to form a layered construction having at least one sample chamber;
and (c) converting the layered construction into at least one sensor, each of the at least one sensor having a sample chamber. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44)
