ENVIRONMENT TEMPERATURE MEASURING METHOD, LIQUID SAMPLE MEASURING METHOD, AND MEASURING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An environment temperature measuring method for measuring the temperature with a measuring device provided with a heat generating material and an environment temperature sensor inside a housing, on the basis of electrical information measured by the environment temperature sensor, said method comprising:
- a heat generation operating time measuring step of measuring the operating time during heat generation by a heat generating material provided inside the housing; and
an external environment temperature calculation step of calculating the external environment temperature outside the housing on the basis of the operating time of the heat generating material and an internal environment temperature obtained at the environment temperature sensor.

Abstract
A cavity (17) in which an analysis sample is held and measurement is performed, and an electrode system (14) for measuring the concentration of the sample in the cavity (17) are provided on a biosensor (1). A secondary cell (21) and an environment temperature sensor (9) are provided inside the measuring device (2). The environment temperature during charging is measured in real time by specifying the environment temperature during charging from the time required to charge the secondary cell (21) and the environment temperature during charging. The measured analysis sample concentration is corrected for temperature with high accuracy from the environment temperature information obtained during charging, in a temperature correction step 09, and thus an analysis result with extremely high accuracy is obtained.
