First Claim
1. A test strip for insertion into a concentration measuring apparatus, said test strip comprising:
- a base material;
a reaction reagent for reacting with a liquid test sample;
a positive terminal;
a negative terminal;
said positive and negative terminals electrically detecting a concentration of a specific component in the liquid test sample based on the reaction of the reaction reagent;
at least one reagent identifying terminal for identifying the test strip wherein the reagent identifying terminal is electrically connected to said positive terminal.

Abstract
The present invention is to provide a concentration measuring apparatus, a test strip for the concentration measuring apparatus, a biosensor system and a method for forming terminals of the test strip, whereby a component to be measured can be measured by the test strip fit to the target component to be measured. A type judgement electrode is provided separately from a positive electrode and a negative electrode in a measuring apparatus so as to judge the type of a set test strip with the measuring apparatus. Thus only when a test strip matching the measuring apparatus is set, the type judgement electrode is electrically connected to a terminal of the set test strip, enabling the measuring apparatus to measure a component to be measured in a liquid test sample. A measuring apparatus detects a calibration curve information selection change for selecting a calibration curve information corresponding to a production lot of the set test strip thereby to compensate for an error in a measured concentration value of the component.
