Analytical test strip with electroluminescent module
First Claim
1. An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample, the analytical test strip comprising:
- a substrate layer;
an electroluminescent module disposed on the substrate layer;
a sample chamber configured for receiving the bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer; and
a fluorophore-containing photometric enzymatic reagent disposed within the sample chamber; and
wherein the electroluminescent module is in optical communication with the sample chamber, andwherein the electroluminescent module is configured to emit light that facilitates a fluorescent chemical reaction sequence involving the fluorophore-containing photometric enzymatic reagent and the analyte.

Abstract
An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example, a whole blood sample) includes a substrate layer, an electroluminescent module disposed on the substrate layer, a sample chamber configured for receiving the bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer; and a fluorophore-containing photometric enzymatic reagent disposed within the sample chamber. Moreover, the electroluminescent module is in optical communication with the sample chamber and is configured to emit light that facilitates a fluorescent chemical reaction sequence involving the fluorophore-containing photometric enzymatic reagent and the analyte.
