Systems, devices, and methods for improving accuracy of biosensors using fill time
First Claim
1. A method for determining a concentration of an analyte in a sample, the method comprising:
- introducing a sample including an analyte into an electrochemical cell of a sample analyzing device, the electrochemical cell having a working electrode and a counter electrode;
determining a fill time of the sample;
calculating a prepulse time in view of at least the fill time;
applying an electric potential between the working electrode and the counter electrode for a length of time equal to the prepulse time; and
determining a concentration of the analyte.

Abstract
Methods for determining a concentration of an analyte in a sample, and the devices and systems used in conjunction with the same, are provided herein. In one exemplary embodiment of a method for determining a concentration of an analyte in a sample, a sample including an analyte is provided in a sample analyzing device having a working and a counter electrode. An electric potential is applied between the electrodes and a fill time of the sample into the device is calculated. A concentration of the analyte in view of fill time can then be determined. Systems and devices that take advantage of the fill time to make analyte concentration determinations are also provided.
