Abstract
The present invention relates to a biosensor. The biosensor includes a support substate, an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support substrate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and a code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the code pattern is discernible, and a cover cooperating with the support substrate to define a channel. At least a portion of the electrodes are positioned in the channel.
Claims22
A biosensor comprising:
- a support substrate,
- an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support subtate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and a bar code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the bar code pattern is optically discernible from the substrate in order to identify the bar code pattern, and
- at least one reagent positioned on at least one electrode.
A biosensor comprising:
- a support substrate,
- an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support substrate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and a bar code pattern, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the code pattern is optically discernible from the substrate in order to identify the bar code pattern, and
- a cover cooperating with the support substrate to define a channel and at least a portion of the electrodes are positioned in the channel.
A biosensor comprising:
- a support substrate,
- an electrically conductive coating positioned on the support substrate, the coating being formed to define electrodes and means for identifying the biosensor, wherein there is sufficient contrast between the conductive coating and the substrate such that the means for identifying the biosensor is optically discernible from the substrate in order to identify the means for identifying the biosensor, wherein the means for identifying the biosensor is a bar code.
