1. A test strip configured for reception by a test meter, said test strip comprising:

  • a carrier defined by one or more nonconductive substrates and having first and second electrically conductive regions that are electrically isolated from one another, the carrier including a fold line transverse to a major dimension of the carrier along which top and bottom portions are defined, said portions carrying the first and second conductive regions, respectively, and an opening extending therethrough; and

    an electrochemical module mounted to the carrier such that at least a portion of the electrochemical module extends across the opening and is thereby exposed, the electrochemical module having an electrochemical cavity with a first electrode in electrical communication with the first conductive region of the carrier, a second electrode in electrical communication with the second conductive region of the carrier, and a sample receiving chamber that includes a reagent layer and wherein the electrochemical module is mounted at opposing ends between the top and bottom portions within the opening.
