Abstract
A system for determining usability of an analytical test strip having two electrodes connected in series with a sample cell includes a test meter configured to receive the test strip. The sample cell receives a fluid sample, the sample cell with the received fluid sample having a frequency-dependent impedance. A microprocessor and circuit in the test meter cause application of an AC waveform across the sample cell via the electrodes upon detection of sample in the sample cell and concurrently measure of a current through the electrodes. The AC waveform has a frequency at which the characteristic impedance is substantially zero. The measured current is inversely proportional to a series resistance of the two electrodes. A hand-held test meter and a method for determining usability of an analytical test strip are also described.
