Abstract
There is provided a test strip for testing a fluid sample, including a sample cavity configured to receive the fluid sample and an ultrasonically-spread reagent layer arranged on at least one surface of the sample cavity. There is also provided a method for making a biosensor, including providing a substrate having a region for receiving a sample; dispensing a liquid substance on at least one surface of the region for receiving a sample; and subjecting the substrate to ultrasonic vibrations to quickly and uniformly spread the liquid substance on the at least one surface of the region for receiving a sample.

31. A method for making a plurality of test strips, comprising the steps of:
-
arranging a plurality of test strips into an array, each test strip comprising (1) a base layer, (2) a spacer layer arranged on the base layer, and (3) a sample cavity defined by the base and spacer layers; dispensing a liquid reagent layer on a surface of the sample cavity; and passing the array over an ultrasonic generator to subject the sample cavity of each test strip to ultrasonic vibrations to quickly and uniformly spread the liquid reagent layer. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
