The invention discloses a methods in which dry reagent enzyme based
electrochemical biosensors, which are in a relatively mature form due to
the extensive amount of development pioneered by the blood glucose
monitoring industry, may be simply adapted to perform tests for blood
coagulation, enzymatic activity, or immunochemical assays for antigens
present in a fluid sample. In particular, the utility of combining
apoenzyme based dry reagent electrochemical biosensors with apoenzyme
reactivation technology is taught. This combination creates a novel
combination dry reagent test technology capable of detecting a wide range
of different analytes.
