BIOSENSOR AND METHODS OF REAGENT PATTERNING FOR A MULTIPLE WELL BIOSENSOR

摘要

Biosensors for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a blood sample and methods of patterning reagent layers for multiple well biosensors. A first capillary is first configured to receive a dispensed reagent layer such that the reagent layer is distributed in a substantially uniform manner within the first capillary. Application of the reagent is performed by use of a sacrificial layer or a dam, which is removed after the reagent has dried. The first capillary may also configured to isolate the first capillary from other capillaries present in the biosensor. After the reagent layer has been dispensed and dried, the first capillary may then be reconfigured to allow the first capillary to receive a blood sample.
