An analytical test strip for the determination of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in a liquid sample (such as whole blood) includes a matrix, with the matrix having a sample detection zone and a control zone(s). The sample detection zone includes a first reagent composition that reacts with analyte in the liquid sample to create a sample response and is configured to receive a first portion of the liquid sample. The control zone(s) includes a second reagent composition and is configured to receive another portion(s) of the liquid sample. In addition, the second reagent composition creates a predetermined control response when exposed to the second portion of the liquid sample. The predetermined control response, either alone or in combination with the sample response, can be employed to verify acceptable functioning of the analytical test strip and/or to provide a calibration factor for the analytical test strip.
