Abstract
The present invention relates to a test strip and a biosensor having an increased conductivity and a slurry comprising a fiber, meal particles having a size in nanometer and a bioactive substance. The invention is characterized by incorporating metal particles having size in nanometer into the reaction layer of test strip and biosensor to increase the conductivity between the reaction layer and the electrodes so that the redox reaction can be readily completed and the measurement time can thus be shortened.
