Abstract
A system for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes an analytical test strip and an analytical meter. The analytical test strip has a substrate layer, an electroluminescent component (either an electroluminescent module and/or an electroluminescent lamp) disposed on the substrate layer, and a sample chamber configured for receiving a bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer. Moreover, the analytical meter is configured for insertion of the analytical test strip therein and subsequent determination of the analyte.
