Method of forming a multilayer test sensor
First Claim
1. A method of forming an electrochemical multilayer test sensor, the multilayer test sensor including a base, a second layer and a reactive area, the reactive area including an enzyme, the test sensor being adapted to be used in a meter and assist in determining the concentration of an analyte, the method comprising the acts of:
- partially defining a plurality of electrodes and their respective conductive leads on the base;
after partially defining the plurality of electrodes and their respective conductive leads on the base, attaching the base to a second layer to define a reaction zone in which the plurality of electrodes are fully defined, thereby leaving a portion of the base uncovered by the second layer; and
after attaching the base to the second layer, further processing to define the plurality of conductive leads on the portion of the base which is uncovered by the second layer.

Abstract
A method of forming an electrochemical multilayer test sensor that includes a base, a second layer and a reactive layer. The reactive area includes an enzyme. The test sensor is adapted to be used in a meter and assist in determining the concentration of an analyte. A plurality of electrodes and their respective conductive leads are partially defined on the base. After partially defining the plurality of electrodes and their respective conductive leads on the base, the base is attached to a second layer to define a reaction zone in which the plurality of electrodes are fully defined. After attaching the base to the second layer, the plurality of conductive leads on the base of the test sensor are fully defined.
