A method of auto-calibrating a meter is provided herein. The method can include disposing a sensor within a sensor dispenser associated with a tag element wherein the tag element is configured to store a plurality of sensor-specific information as well as communicate the information to a meter. Next, the method can include placing the sensor dispenser into communication with a meter which is configured to receive and retain a sensor from the sensor dispenser, and also configured to receive the sensor-specific information from the tag element thereby allowing the meter to perform an auto-calibration procedure which is at least partially dependent upon the sensor-specific information. Similarly, a system for auto-calibrating a meter is also provided herein. Additionally, various embodiments of a meter and various embodiments a sensor dispenser are also provided herein.
