Method for measuring temperature of biological sample, measuring device, and biosensor system
View Patent ↗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.
1. A concentration measurement method of measuring a concentration of an analyte contained in a biological sample in a sensor chip including: an electrode unit including a working electrode and a counter electrode, the electrode unit including a reagent containing an electrolyte, and a capillary allowing the biological sample to be introduced therein, the concentration measurement method comprising:
an introduction of introducing a predetermined amount of the biological sample into the capillary;
soon after the introduction of the biological sample,
performing a temperature measurement of 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, and then a concentration measurement of measuring the concentration of the analyte contained in the biological sample by applying a second voltage to the electrode unit, wherein the first voltage applied in the temperature measurement is greater than the second voltage applied for measuring the concentration of the analyte in the concentration measurement; or
performing the concentration measurement of measuring the concentration of the analyte, and then the temperature measurement of measuring a temperature of the biological sample.
2. The concentration measurement method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a correction of correcting the concentration of the analyte measured in the concentration measurement based on the temperature of the biological sample measured in the temperature measurement.
3. The concentration measurement method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first voltage is within 1.0 V to 2.5 V.
