PURPOSE: A test meter used with a dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip having opposing electrodes is provided to facilitate electrochemical reaction with a single interesting analyte and measure the concentration of the single analyte by using counter/reference electrodes and enzyme reagent together with a working electrode. CONSTITUTION: A test meter comprises a test strip receiving module and a signal processing module. The test strip receiving module includes a first electric connector being in contact with a first analyte contact pad of a first working electrode of a dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip(100), a second electric connector being in contact with a second analyte of a second working electrode of the dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip, a third electric connector being in contact with a first counter/reference contact pad of a first counter/reference electrode layer of the dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip, and a fourth connector being in contact with a second counter/reference contact pad of a second counter/reference electrode layer of the dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip. The signal processing module receives a first signal through the first and third electric connectors and a second signal through the second and fourth electric connectors and uses the first and second signal for respectively measuring first and second analytes in a sample applied to the dual chamber, multi-analyte test strip.
