Biosensor with predetermined dose response curve and method of manufacturing
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing electrochemical biosensors of the same model, comprising:
- (a) producing a first biosensor having a first electrical pattern with a first effective area;
(b) determining a dose-response curve of the first biosensor;
(c) using the dose-response curve determined for the first biosensor to predict a second effective area for a second electrical pattern of a second biosensor before the second biosensor is made, the second effective area being different from the first effective area; and
(d) forming the second biosensor, the second effective area being obtained during initial formation of the second electrical pattern, wherein the second biosensor has a dose-response curve that is within a desired predetermined range.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system of biosensors whose dose-response curves are maintained within a predetermined and desired range or tolerance during production by selecting a feature of the biosensors that can be varied during production. For example, in one exemplary embodiment the effective area of the working electrode of an electrochemical biosensor can be varied during production as needed to offset variations that occur, e.g., in the reagent of the biosensors as production proceeds. In another exemplary embodiment, the dose-response curve of biosensors not yet produced can be predicted and one or more features of these biosensors can be selected to maintain the dose-response curve within a predetermined range or tolerance.
