METHOD FOR DETECTING AND COMPENSATING AN UNDERDOSAGE OF TESTSTRIPS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for detecting an underdosage of an analytica l test element and optionally for compensating the underdosage. The invention also concerns an analytical system and a test element which are suitable for detecting an underdosage. An underdosage of the test element can be reliably detected and optionally calculated by irradiating the analytical test element in a control wavelength range. Fo r this purpose the test element contains a control substance which interacts with t he radiation in the control wavelength range as a function of the contact with the applied amount of sample.
