A method for making a dry sensor element for an enzymatic determination of an analyte in a body fluid includes providing a substrate, producing a working electrode on the substrate, producing a counter electrode on the substrate, and producing electric connectors on the substrate connected to the working electrode and the counter electrode, the step of producing the working electrode further comprising depositing an active enzymatic electrode layer containing an enzyme and a catalyzer material for catalyzing an enzymatic determination of an analyte of a body fluid, the catalyzer material comprising at least one of metal nano-particles and metal oxide nano-particles. A dry sensor element for an enzymatic determination of an analyte in a body fluid is also disclosed.
