1. A system for measuring an analyte concentration of a fluid sample, the system comprising:
- a sensor package including;
i) a base portion having a plurality of sensor cavities;
ii) a plurality of test sensors, each test sensor being located in a respective one of the plurality of sensor cavities; and
iii) a protective sheet covering the plurality of sensor cavities;
a testing instrument including;
i) a housing;
ii) a display; and
iii) a read-head configured to detachably engage the plurality of test sensors one at a time; and
an alignment guide configured to cover the protective sheet, the alignment guide having a plurality of apertures, each aperture being configured to align the read-head to detachably engage a corresponding one of the test sensors within the base portion of the sensor package.

Abstract
A fluid sensor comprises a formed plastic body and a reagent. The body has a top face with an integral first surface. The body also has a bottom face opposed to the first surface and a sidewall that extends from the periphery of the top face. The first surface is adapted to accept a fluid sample. The reagent is disposed on the integral first surface and causes a color change detectable on the bottom face when the reagent reacts with an analyte in the fluid sample.
