METHODS OF CORRECTING FOR UNCOMPENSATED RESISTANCES IN THE CONDUCTIVE ELEMENTS OF BIOSENSORS, AS WELL AS DEVICES AND SYSTEMS

Methods are provided for correcting for effects of uncompensated resistances in conductive elements of biosensors during electrochemical analyte measurements, where such methods include theoretically segmenting areas of conductive elements of biosensors into a number of conductive "squares," respectively, and using this information to calculate or determine sheet resistance of a biosensor's conductive elements in Ω/square at a time of use by measuring resistance of one or more paths or patterns of the conductive elements and then dividing by a theoretical number of uncompensated conductive squares in the path or pattern of conductive elements to obtain one or more uncompensated resistance values. Measurement errors can be compensated, corrected and/or minimized by subtracting uncompensated resistances from a real portion of a measured impedance.
