<p>Provided is a component measurement device capable of accurately calculating the concentration of a specific component in a specimen even when the development speed of the specimen on a test paper has changed. This component measurement device (100) is a component measurement device for, on the basis of the color development degree of a reagent that reacts with a component contained in a specimen, measuring the concentration of the component, and comprises an application means (120), a detection means (140), and a component concentration calculation means (180). The application means (120) applies light onto a test paper (111) to which the specimen adheres. The detection means (140) detects reflected light reflected by each of a plurality of different regions on the test paper (111). The component concentration calculation means (180) calculates the concentration of the component contained in the specimen on the basis of the intensity of the reflected light at a termination time after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start time at which the specimen infiltrated and color development started in each of the plurality of different regions.</p> |
