Analyzer and Cartridge for Extracting Analyte
First Claim
1. An analyzer for analyzing an analyte extracted from a subject, comprising:
- a sensor member including a supplied face supplied with said analyte extracted from said subject or a product resulting from reaction of said analyte;
signal output part outputting a signal based on said analyte or said product supplied to said supplied face; and
a liquid holding member provided with a first face coming into contact with said supplied face and a second face coming into contact with the skin of said subject and capable of holding a liquid for supplying said analyte or said product from said second face to said supplied face, whereinsaid liquid holding member is so formed as to keep the distance between said supplied face and said skin substantially constant while the same is in contact with said skin.

Abstract
An analyzer (a blood glucose meter), which shows minor measurement errors even in the case of conducting the extraction and detection of an analyte in parallel, can be obtained. This blood glucose meter (100) comprises a sensor unit (26) having a measurement face (26a) to which glucose extracted from a subject is supplied, a light-receiving element (34) outputting a signal based on the glucose supplied to the measurement face, a sensor contact face (23a) to be in contact with the measurement face and a skin contact face (23b) to be in contact with the skin of the subject, as well as a mesh sheet (23) for supplying the glucose from the skin contact face to the measurement face. The mesh sheet is designed so that the distance between the measurement face and the skin is maintained substantially at a constant level during the contact with the skin.
