Abstract
Disclosed is an electrochemical sensor for detecting the concentration of an analyte such as glucose in a fluid test sample. The sensor involves a base as flow path for the fluid test sample having a working and counter electrode on its surface. The base is mated with a cover to form a capillary space to capture the fluid and the counter electrode has a sub-element located upstream in the flow path. When there is detected electrical communication only between the sub-element and the working electrode the meter, with which the sensor is in electrical communication senses that the capillary space has not completely filled with test fluid.
