ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a biosensor is provided. The method includes providing a substrate and a cover including first and second surfaces, positioning a reagent on the substrate, carving a channel by laser ablation in the first surface, and coupling the first surface of the cover to the second surface. The channel includes a first portion having a first height and a second portion having a second height that is less than the first height.
