A method for determining (e.g., detecting and/or measuring the concentration of) an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes obtaining a bodily fluid sample, applying the bodily fluid sample to an analyte test strip, transferring the applied bodily fluid sample to a sample--receiving chamber of the analyte test strip, and determining an analyte in the bodily fluid sample. The analyte test strip employed in the method includes a first port in fluidic communication with the sample-receiving chamber and proximate a platform portion of the analyte test strip. Moreover, the platform portion is configured to receive a first (relatively large) bodily fluid sample of at least 5 micro-liters and transfer at least a portion of the first bodily fluid sample to the sample-receiving chamber via the first port. The analyte test strip also includes a second port in fluidic communication with the sample-receiving chamber and an outer edge of the analyte test strip, the second port configured to receive a second (relatively small) bodily fluid sample of lesser volume than the first bodily fluid sample and for transferring at least a portion of the second bodily fluid sample to sample- receiving chamber. In addition, the applying step involves applying the bodily fluid sample to one of the second port and the platform portion of the analyte test strip depending on the volume of the bodily fluid sample.
