Abstract: An analytical test meter includes a meter housing containing a test strip connector that includes at least two terminals. A processor is disposed within the meter housing, as well as a current generator that generates a magnetic field in association with one of the terminals for attracting a contact of an analytical test strip for alignment or retention therewith. Detection of the presence of an analytical test strip relative to an electrical contact can cause an increase in the intensity of the magnetic field.

Abstract: An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose and/or hematocrit) in a bodily fluid sample (such as a whole blood sample) includes a first capillary sample-receiving chamber, a second capillary sample-receiving chamber, and a physical barrier island disposed between the first and second capillary sample-receiving chambers. Moreover, the physical island barrier is disposed such that bodily fluid sample flow between the first capillary sample-receiving chamber and the second capillary sample-receiving chamber is prevented during use of the analytical test strip.

Abstract: An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (such as glucose) in, or a characteristic of, a bodily fluid sample includes an electrically-insulating base layer, a first patterned spacer layer disposed on the electrically-insulating base layer, a second patterned spacer layer disposed on the first patterned spacer layer; and a top hydrophilic layer disposed on the second patterned spacer layer. In addition, the electrically-insulating base layer, the first and second patterned spacer layers and the top hydrophilic layer define a tiered capillary chamber(s) that has a first tiered capillary chamber portion defined in the first patterned spacer layer and a second tiered capillary chamber portion defined in the second patterned spacer layer. Moreover, the first tiered capillary chamber portion and the second tiered capillary chamber portion are in direct fluidic communication with one another.
