A method of using a graphite electrode to measure a concentration of glucose or methionine from a biological sample is described. A mechanical pencil lead may be used, as the graphite electrode, and the biological sample may come from a patient's serum. The glucose or methionine may produce a peak current response within a range of 0.4-0.8 V when the sample is subjected to linear scan voltammetry.

A single flex double-sided electrode useful in a continuous glucose monitoring sensor. In one example, a counter electrode is placed on the back-side of the flex and a work electrode is placed on the top-side of the sensor flex. The electrode is fabricated on physical vapor deposited metal deposited on a base substrate. Adhesion of the electrode to the base substrate is carefully controlled so that the electrode can be processed on the substrate and subsequently removed from the substrate after processing.

Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.
