1. A method for forming an electrochemical test sensor, the method comprising the acts of:

  • providing a base, a second layer and a plurality of electrodes, the base and the second layer assisting in forming a channel for receiving a fluid sample;

    providing a pre-oxidized reagent material with an oxidizable species therein;

    applying current to the pre-oxidized reagent material to oxidize the oxidizable species therein and form a modified reagent material having a reduced background current; and

    placing the modified reagent material with the reduced background current on the test sensor in close relationship with at least one of the plurality of electrodeswherein the reagent includes a mediator and an enzyme.
