ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the concentration of a reduced or oxidized form of a redox species is provided. In one exemplary embodiment, an electrochemical apparatus is provided in which the apparatus includes a hollow electrochemical cell for measuring a concentration of glucose in a blood sample, a current of the cell is measured, and a concentration of a redox mediator is determined, at least in part from, a measured current of the cell. The hollow electrochemical cell can include at least one non-metal working electrode, at least one counter electrode or counter/reference electrode, and a spacer interposed between the working electrode and the counter or counter/reference electrode. In one embodiment the working electrode and the counter or counter/reference electrode are not co-planer and are separated by a distance of from about 20 microns to about 200 microns. In another embodiment the working electrode and the counter or counter/reference electrode are not co-planer and the cell has an effective cell volume of less than 1.5 microliters.
