1. A method for determining an analyte in a sample comprising the steps of:

  • (a) placing the sample in an electrochemical test cell comprising a working and a counter electrode and a mediator that serves as a charge carrier in the electrochemical determination of the analyte, (b) electrochemically determining an uncorrected result for the determination of analyte in the sample;

    (c) determining an additive correction factor for the amount of oxygen in the sample, and (d) modifying the uncorrected result of step (b) with the correction factor of step (c) to provide a corrected determination of analyte in the sample, wherein the additive correction factor for the amount of oxygen in the sample is determined as a function of the temperature of the sample and a measurement that reflects the oxygen carrying capacity of the sample.
