Electrochemical test sensor
First Claim
1. An electrochemical test sensor adapted to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, the test sensor comprising:
- a lid; and
a base having a length and a width, the length being perpendicular to the width, the length of the base being greater than the width of the base, the base including at least a working electrode, a counter electrode and at least three test-sensor contacts for electrically connecting to a meter, the test sensor contacts being electrically connected to either the working electrode or the counter electrode, each end of the at least three test-sensor contacts being staggered along the width and the length of the base from each other, the at least three test-sensor contacts being spaced from and not overlapping along the length of the base with each other, the base and the lid assisting in forming a fluid chamber for receiving the fluid sample, anda reagent to assist in determining the concentration of the analyte in the fluid sample.

Abstract
An electrochemical test sensor includes a lid and a base. The base has a length and a width. The length of the base is greater than the width of the base. The base includes at least a working electrode, a counter electrode and at least three test-sensor contacts for electrically connecting to a meter. The at least three test-sensor contacts are spaced along the length of the base from each other. The base and the lid assist in forming a fluid chamber for receiving the fluid sample. The electrochemical test sensor further includes a reagent to assist in determining the concentration of the analyte in the fluid sample.
