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.
