Measuring Apparatus and Measuring Method

摘要

An apparatus and a method that can detect a defective analytical device due to the scattering of a reagent are provided. In particular, a blood glucose level meter (measuring apparatus) 1 is configured to measure a target component of a biological sample using a reagent. The apparatus includes a second measuring unit (measuring unit) 31b configured to measure an electrical response to a detection signal applied to a pair of hematocrit electrodes (test electrode pair), and a control unit 33 configured to determine the presence or absence of the reagent on the pair of hematocrit electrodes based on the measured electrical response.

1. A method for measuring a target component of a biological sample with a reagent,
the method comprising the following steps of: applying a detection signal to at least one test electrode pair; measuring an electrical response to the detection signal in the test electrode pair; and determining a presence or absence of the reagent on the test electrode pair based on the measured electrical response.
