Abstract
This article briefly describes the design and integration of miniaturized electrochemical sensors that meet stringent performance requirements for clinical applications. Advantages of using plastic substrates for combining sensor fabrication with fluidic packaging is elaborated. Utilization of shared external reference and counter electrodes for both potentiometric and amperometric measurements provided simple and uniform sensor configurations, allowing ease of fabrication and improved reliability. Further enhancement in reliability is achieved from functional testing of all fabricated sensors, prior to assembly in disposable cartridges.
