An electrochemical test device for determining the presence or
concentration of an analyte in an aqueous fluid sample comprises a
substrate comprising a non-conductive material; a working electrode
comprising a conductive film formed at least with carbon nanotubes, the
working electrode having a first electrode area, a first lead and a first
contact pad; a counter electrode comprising a conductive film formed at
least with carbon nanotubes; a reagent capable of reacting with the
analyte to produce a measurable change in potential which can be
correlated to the presence or concentration of the analyte in the fluid
sample, the reagent overlaying at least a portion of the first electrode
area of the working electrode; and a reference electrode comprising a
conductive coating formed at least with carbon nanotubes, the reference
electrode having a third electrode area at least a portion of which is
overlaid with a reference material.
