A METHOD OF REDUCING INTERFERENCES IN AN ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR USING TWO DIFFERENT APPLIED POTENTIALS

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the effects of interfering compounds in the measurement of analytes and more particularly to a method of reducing the effects of interfering compounds in a system wherein the test strip (600) utilizes two or more working electrodes (12, 14). In the present invention, a first potential (E1) is applied to a first working electrode (12) and a second potential (E2), having the same polarity but a greater magnitude than the first potential (El), is applied to a second working electrode (14).
