Electrochemical cell
First Claim
1. A hollow electrochemical cell comprising two sets of electrodes and an opening for admitting a sample to the cell, wherein at least one of the two sets of electrodes is in fluid communication with the opening and the first set of electrodes comprises a working electrode spaced from a counter or counter/reference electrode by less than 500 μ
- m, wherein the electrochemical cell is configured to be hollow immediately prior to admitting the sample to the cell and is configured for retaining the sample within the cell for analysis of the sample.

Abstract
A hollow electrochemical cell is provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a hollow electrochemical cell includes two sets of electrodes and an opening for admitting an analyte to the cell. At least one of the two sets of electrodes can be in fluid communication with the opening. Further, a first set of electrodes can include a working electrode spaced from a counter or counter/reference electrode by less than 500 μm one embodiment the working and counter or counter/reference electrodes are not co-planer. In another embodiment the working and counter or counter/reference electrodes are of substantially corresponding area. In yet another embodiment the working and counter or counter/reference electrodes are spaced from 100 to 200 μm apart. The first set of electrodes and the second set of electrodes can be spaced apart by greater than about 500 μm. Other embodiments of a hollow electrochemical cell are also provided, as are several embodiments of a glucose sensor.
