DATA CARRIER FOR CHEMICAL OR BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSES

摘要

The invention relates to a data carrier comprising storage locations with data written therein, whereby the storage locations have a number of first storage locations with defective data and have at least one second storage location for arranging analytical substances on the data carrier. When the analytical substances react with a medium to be examined, a change in the data written on the at least one second storage location can be effected by means of a reaction product, and the number of storage locations is set so that, on the one hand, a first data set can be determined when no reaction of the analytical substances with a medium to be examined occurs when reading the data carrier and applying a conventional fault correction method and, on the other hand, a second data set can be determined when a change in the data written on the at least one second storage location was effected by means of the reaction product when reading the data carrier and applying the conventional fault correction method, said second data set differing from the first data set.
