To provide a test sensor capable of minimizing the contamination of a trigger electrode during manufacture of the test sensor in consideration of a defect related to the contaminated trigger electrode, and provide a method of producing the test sensor.SOLUTION: The present disclosure relates to an electrochemical test sensor (100) for detecting the concentration of an analysis object in a fluid sample. This test sensor includes a work electrode (10), a counter electrode (12), and a trigger electrode (14). A temporary protective layer (18) is located above the trigger electrode (14) and is useful for keeping the function of the trigger electrode (14) during manufacture of the test sensor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】汚染されたトリガ電極と関連する欠点を考慮すると、試験センサ製造中のトリガ電極の汚染を最小限にすることができる試験センサおよび試験センサを作る方法を提供することである。【解決手段】本開示は、流体試料中の分析物の濃度を検出するための電気化学的試験センサ(100)に関する。本試験センサは、作用電極(10)、対向電極(12)、およびトリガ電極(14)を含む。一時的な保護層(18)は、トリガ電極(14)の上に位置し、試験センサ製造中にトリガ電極(14)の機能を維持するのに役立つ。【選択図】図1
