    Abstract: A test sensor is made that is adapted to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample. The method includes providing a lid and providing a base. The lid is attached to the base to form an attached lid-base structure. The lid-base structure has a first end adapted to receive the fluid sample and a second opposing end adapted to be placed into a meter. Auto-calibration information is assigned to the lid-base structure. The second opposing end is formed such that the shape of the second opposing end corresponds to the auto-calibration information.

    Abstract: A system for normalizing measurements obtained from spectrometers to correct for measurement biases in individual spectrometers. The normalization system is adapted for use in spectrometers having an optical assembly for obtaining characteristic data from a test sample. A normalization factor is obtained in each spectrometer by placing a holographic dispersion filter between the light source and detector in the position normally occupied by the test sample, the filter having been encoded with a symbol representing a nominal value of light expected to pass through the filter. The spectrometer determines the value of light passing through the filter and calculates a normalization factor based on the ratio between the nominal value of the filter and the actual value obtained by the spectrometer. The normalization factor is stored in system memory and the filter removed so that the spectrometer may thereafter be used to evaluate a plurality of test samples. The measured results obtained from the test samples are normalized by multiplying them by the stored normalization factor. Where measurements are obtained from a plurality of spectrometers, the normalized results vary less than about 10% from instrument to instrument for a variety of types of characteristic data, including turbidimetric microalbumin assays.
