Abstract
Systems and methods for electrochemically oxidizing components of a test-sensor reagent prior to deposition on a test sensor comprise at least a first electrode and a second electrode for contacting the test-sensor reagent. The first electrode and the second electrode may have hollow interior portions for contacting the test-sensor reagent to produce a modified test-sensor reagent having a reduced background current.

23. A method for forming an optical test sensor, the method comprising the acts of:
-
providing a base and a second layer, the base and the second layer assisting in forming a channel for receiving a fluid sample; providing a pre-oxidized reagent material with an oxidizable species therein; applying current to the pre-oxidized reagent material to oxidize the oxidizable species therein and form a modified reagent material having a reduced background current; and placing the modified reagent material with the reduced background current on the test sensor, wherein the reagent includes a mediator and an enzyme. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
