Electrochemical cell
First Claim
1. An electrochemical sensor for analytic determination using a liquid sample, comprising a substantially flat strip having a thickness, the strip having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, a sample-receiving cell within the strip, at least two electrodes in communication with the cell, a first notch through the entire thickness of the strip in the first lateral edge, and a second notch through the entire thickness of the strip in the second lateral edge, wherein the notches are in fluid communication with the cell and allow entry of the liquid sample into the cell.

Abstract
A method of manufacture of a thin layer electrochemical cell (FIGS. 12, 14) comprising the steps of:
forming an aperture (11) extending through a sheet (1) of electrically resistive material, said aperture defining a side wall of the cell,
mounting a first thin electrode layer (13) to one side of the sheet and extending over aperture (11) whereby to define a cell first end wall,
mounting a second thin electrode layer (13) to the other side of the sheet and extending over aperture (11) whereby to define a second cell end wall in substantial overlying registration with the first electrode, and
providing means (16) for admission of a liquid into the cell.
