25. A sensor for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample, the sensor comprising:
-
a first substrate and a second substrate; a spacer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a sample chamber at a distal end of the sensor, wherein the distal end has a reduced width, and wherein the sample chamber has a first inlet and a second inlet, the first inlet and the second inlet defined by the first substrate, second substrate, and spacer; and a first projection extending from a first edge of the sensor proximate the first inlet, wherein the first projection is defined by the first substrate, and wherein a width of the first projection is less than a width of the inlet. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A sensor for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample, the sensor comprising:
-
a first substrate and a second substrate; a spacer between the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein a first side edge and a second side edge of the sensor extends between a proximal end and a distal end of the sensor, the distal end having a reduced width; a sample chamber at the distal end of the sensor between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the sample chamber is bounded by the spacer, and wherein the sample chamber includes a first inlet and a second inlet; a first projection extending from the first substrate at the first inlet; and a second projection extending from the first substrate at the second inlet. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)

59. A sensor for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample, the sensor comprising:
-
a first substrate and a second substrate; wherein a first side edge and a second side edge of the sensor extends between a proximal end and a distal end of the sensor, the distal end having a reduced width, and wherein the distal end comprises an end edge; a sample chamber at the distal end and defined between the first substrate and the second substrate, the sample chamber extending from the first side edge to the second side edge; a first aperture to the sample chamber, the first aperture between the first substrate and the second substrate at the first side edge; a second aperture to the sample chamber, the second aperture between the first substrate and the second substrate at the second side edge; and a first projection extending from the first side edge proximate the first aperture. - View Dependent Claims (60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
