1. An electrochemical-based analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample, the electrochemical-based analytical test strip comprising:

  • an electrically insulating base layer; and

    a patterned conductor layer disposed over the electrically-insulating layer, the patterned conductor layer including at least one electrode,wherein the at least one electrode has electrochemically inert areas, an electrically continuous electrochemically active area lattice, and non-conductive border regions separating the electrochemically inert areas and the electrically continuous electrochemically active area lattice, the electrochemically inert areas and the at least one electrochemically active area being of a predetermined size and a predetermined distribution such that electrochemical response of the electrode during use of the electrochemical-based analytical test strip is essentially equivalent to a predetermined electrochemical response of a different electrode.
