A test sensor includes a body, a first conductive trace, a second conductive trace, and a third conductive trace. The body includes a first region that has a fluid-receiving area, a second region separate from the first region, and a first temperature sensing interface disposed at or adjacent to the fluid-receiving area. The fluid-receiving area receives a sample. The first trace is disposed on the body, and at least a portion of the first trace is disposed in the first region. The second and third traces are disposed on the body. The third trace extends from the first to the second regions. The third trace is connected to the first trace at the first temperature sensing interface. The third trace includes a different material than the first trace. A first thermocouple is formed at the first temperature sensing interface. The thermocouple provides temperature data to determine an analyte concentration.

A method of forming and using an auto-calibration circuit or label on a test sensor includes providing a label or circuit. The label or circuit includes a first layer, a second layer and a lamination portion. The second layer is located between the first layer and the lamination portion. The first layer includes polymeric material. The second layer includes conductive material. The label or circuit is applied to the test sensor via the lamination portion. After applying the label or circuit to the test sensor, portions of the second layer are ablated using a laser to form an auto-calibration pattern on the label or circuit.

Method of forming an auto-calibration circuit or label

A device includes a sensor array and a processor is automatically calibrated. The sensor array collects data from a pattern using at least one of a capacitive measurement and a radio frequency measurement. The pattern is included on a calibration storage device. The processor receives the data from the sensor array and calibrates the device in accordance with the data.
