Test Sensor With a Fluid Chamber Opening
First Claim
1. A test sensor adapted to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, the test sensor comprising:
- a lid having an upper lid surface and a lower lid surface, the lid having a first lid end, a second lid end, a first lid side, and a second lid side; and
a base having an upper base surface and a lower base surface, the base further having a first base end, a second base end, a first base side, and a second base side, the lid and base being attached such that a fluid chamber is formed between a portion of the lower lid surface and the upper base surface at or near the first lid end and the first base end, the fluid chamber being adapted to receive the fluid sample between at least the first base side and the first lid side, between the first lid end and the first lid end, or the combination thereof.

Abstract
A test sensor adapted to assist in determining the analyte concentration in a fluid sample comprises a lid and a base. The lid has an upper lid surface and a lower lid surface. The lid has a first lid end, a second lid end, a first lid side, and a second lid side. The base has an upper base surface and a lower base surface. The base further has a first base end, a second base end, a first base side, and a second base side. The lid and base are attached such that a fluid chamber is formed between a portion of the lower lid surface and the upper base surface at or near the first lid end and the first base end. The fluid chamber is adapted to receive the fluid sample between at least the first base side and the first lid side, between the first lid end and the first lid end, or the combination thereof.

18. A method of determining an analyte concentration of a fluid sample, the method comprising the acts of:
-
providing a test sensor having a lid and a base, the lid having an upper lid surface and a lower lid surface, the lid having a first lid end, a second lid end, a first lid side, and a second lid side, the base having an upper base surface and a lower base surface, the base further having a first base end, a second base end, a first base side, and a second base side, the lid and base being attached such that a fluid chamber is formed between a portion of the lower lid surface and the upper base surface at or near the first lid end and the first base end; placing the fluid sample in the fluid chamber, the fluid chamber being adapted to receive the fluid sample between at least the first base side and the first lid side, between the first lid end and the first lid end, or the combination thereof; and determining the analyte concentration of the sample. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
