1. A method of determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample, the method comprising:

  • contacting the sample with a biosensor, wherein the biosensor comprises;

    a spacer layer that provides a sample chamber between an electrode support and a cover, the sample chamber comprising a proximal end where the sample is introduced into the sample chamber and a distal end toward which the sample flows,wherein at least a portion of an electrode arrangement is located within the sample chamber, and wherein an incompressible element placed in-between said cover and said spacer layer provides at least one vent in the sample chamber, wherein the incompressible element is positioned only at the distal end of the sample chamber or only near the distal end of the sample chamber;

    wherein said biosensor is configured to determine the concentration of an analyte in said sample.
