Analyzer and analyzing method
First Claim
1. An analyzer, comprising:
- an extraction medium retainer for retaining an extraction medium for holding tissue fluid extracted through a skin of a subject;
a component amount information obtainer for obtaining component amount information regarding amount of a predetermined component contained in the tissue fluid held in the extraction medium;
an electrical information obtainer for obtaining electrical information related to amount of the extracted tissue fluid by supplying electrical power to the extraction medium which is holding the extracted tissue fluid; and
a component concentration obtainer for obtaining a concentration of the predetermined component contained in body fluid of the subject based on the component amount information and the electrical information.
