1. A system for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample, the system comprising:
- an analytical test strip that includes;
a substrate layer;
an electroluminescent component disposed on the substrate layer, the electroluminescent component including;
a rear electrode layer;
an electrically-insulating layer disposed over the rear electrode layer;
a phosphor layer disposed over the electrically insulating layer;
a front electrode layer, at least a portion of which is translucent, disposed over the phosphor layer; and
an encapsulant layer; and
a sample chamber configured for receiving a bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer; and
an analytical meter configured for insertion of the analytical test strip therein and subsequent determination of an analyte in the bodily fluid sample.

Abstract
A system for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes an analytical test strip and an analytical meter. The analytical test strip has a substrate layer, an electroluminescent component (either an electroluminescent module and/or an electroluminescent lamp) disposed on the substrate layer, and a sample chamber configured for receiving a bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer. Moreover, the analytical meter is configured for insertion of the analytical test strip therein and subsequent determination of the analyte.
