<p>The invention concerns a method and a device for determining sample application on an analytical test element in a photometric reflectance measuring device (10) specifically for glucose measurements, where the following measures are proposed: providing a disposable test element (12) for application of a body fluid sample, taking a sequence of reflectance readings from the test element (12), monitoring a change of the reflectance readings with respect to a sample application condition, adjusting the sample application condition in accordance with a drift correction. A value for drift correction of the reflectance readings caused by ambient measurement conditions, specifically, humidity, temperature, or UV radiation can be considered in a predefined signal decrease or in a predefined signal threshold for adjusting the sample application condition.</p> |
