ACCURACY IMPROVING DESICCANTS

摘要

A biosensor system for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample includes a plurality of test sensors, and includes a container including a desiccant. When the plurality of test sensors is sealed in the container for two weeks at a temperature of 50°C and then removed from the container, and each test sensor is subsequently connected through the at least two conductors to a measurement device and then contacted with one of a plurality of samples including an analyte, where the plurality of samples have an analyte concentration that spans the range of 10 mg/dL - 600 mg/dL, and the analyte concentration in each sample is measured by the test sensor and the measuring device, the bias of each measured analyte concentration is within ±10 mg/dL or ±10%.
