Methods of fabricating devices for collecting a sample of physiological and for measuring a characteristic, e.g., an analyte concentration, of the sampled physiological sample. The devices are in the form of a test strip which include a biosensor and at least one skin-piercing element which is a planar extension of a portion of the biosensor. The fabrication methods provide various or forming the test strip and the skin-piercing element.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating at least one test strip device for collecting a sample of physiological fluid and measuring a characteristic thereof, said method comprising: integrally forming a substrate and at least one microneedle extending planar therefrom; and forming an opening
What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating at least one test strip device for collecting a sample of physiological fluid and measuring a characteristic thereof, said method comprising: integrally forming a substrate and at least one microneedle extending planar therefrom; and forming an opening within said at least one microneedle using photochemical etching techniques, wherein said opening occupies at least a portion of a width, diameter or length dimension of said microneedle, wherein the substrate acts as a first electrode and is overlaid with an insulation layer and a sheet of material forming a second electrode. 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein said substrate and said at least one microneedle comprise a metal material. 3. The method according to claim 2 wherein said metal material comprises one or more of the group consisting of aluminum, copper, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, silver, titanium, tungsten, carbon and stainless steel. 4. The method according to claim 1 wherein said substrate and at least one microneedle comprise an inert material. 5. The method according to claim 2 wherein said substrate and at least one microneedle comprise an inert material. 6. The method according to claim 4 or 5 wherein said inert material comprises one or more of the group consisting of a polymer, silicon, ceramic and glass. 7. The method according to claim 6 wherein said polymer comprises one or more of the group consisting of polyester, polyimide, polycarbonate; cellophane, fluorinated polymer, ionomer, polyamide, polymethylpentene, polysulfone, polyethylene and its copolymers, polystyrene and its copolymers, polypropylene and its copolymers, polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers, polyvinylidene chloride and its copolymers, and polymer composites reinforced with minerals or nano-particles. 8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said step of forming an opening comprises forming a recess within a surface of said at least one microneedle. 9. The method according to claim 1 further comprising forming a fluid pathway extending from said recess to a location within said substrate. 10. The method according to claim 9 further comprising forming sub-channels extending from said fluid pathway within said test strip device. 11. The method according to claim 1 comprising using web-based fabrication techniques wherein said substrate and said at least one microneedle are formed from a web of suitable material. 12. A method of fabricating a plurality of test strip devices, said method comprising: providing a first sheet comprising a metal material and photochemically etching a plurality of skin-piercing elements within said first sheet wherein said plurality of skin-piercing elements extend from and are in the same plane as the said first sheet of material and the first sheet of material is configured to be used as a first electrode, wherein each of said skin-piercing elements comprises an opening occupying at least a portion of a width, diameter or length dimension of said respective skin-piercing element; providing a second sheet that is formed of an insulating material; laminating together said first and second sheets; and cutting said laminated sheets to provide said plurality of test strip devices. 13. The method of claim 12 wherein said first sheet is further made of an inert material. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein said metal material is deposited on said inert material. 15. The method of claim 12 wherein said first sheet further comprises an inert material. 16. The method of claim 12 wherein said second sheet is an inert material. 17. The method of claim 16 further comprising the step of providing a third sheet wherein said second sheet is sandwiched between said first and third sheets during said step of laminating. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein said third sheet is comprised of the same material as said first sheet. 19. The method of claim 16 wherein said second sheet has an adhesive on at least one side. 20. The method of claim 17 wherein said third sheet is porous. 21. The method of claim 12 wherein a redox reagent system is applied to said first sheet. 22. The method of claim 12 wherein a signal producing system is applied to said first sheet.
