Abstract

The concentration measurement method includes: introducing a predetermined amount of the biological sample into the capillary; measuring a temperature of the biological sample by applying a first voltage to the electrode unit when the temperature of the biological sample is measured, the first voltage allowing the temperature measurement to be less affected by increase and reduction in an amount of the analyte contained in the biological sample; measuring the concentration of the analyte contained in the biological sample by applying a second voltage to the electrode unit; measuring an environmental temperature in a surrounding of the biological sample; and correcting the concentration of the measured analyte based on the measured temperature of the biological sample and the measured environmental temperature.

Claims (14)

1. A sensor chip comprising:

a glucose measurement system configured to measure a concentration of a glucose of a biological sample;

a temperature measurement system configured to measure a temperature of the biological sample;

a capillary configured to introduce the biological sample to the glucose measurement system and the temperature measurement system; and

a supply channel having a substantially T-shape, the supply channel being formed in the capillary,

wherein the glucose measurement system includes a first working electrode, a first counter electrode and a first reagent,

the temperature measurement system includes a second working electrode, a second counter electrode and a second reagent,

the second reagent includes a substance functioning as an electrolyte after being dissolved,

the glucose measurement system and the temperature measurement system are respectively disposed at different ends of the supply channel, and

(i) the first working electrode, the first counter electrode and the first reagent included in the glucose measurement system are disposed apart from (ii) the second working electrode, the second counter electrode and the second reagent included in the temperature measurement system.

2. The sensor chip according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first working electrode, the first counter electrode, the second working electrode and the second counter electrode are formed independently.

3. The sensor chip according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first reagent includes an oxidoreductase and a mediator.
