Liquid sample measurement method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A liquid sample measurement apparatus having a biosensor attached thereto, which measures the concentration of a specific component in a liquid sample that is applied to the biosensor, the liquid sample measurement apparatus including:
- a time measurement means for measuring the time from when the biosensor is attached to when the liquid sample is applied to the biosensor; and
a measurement result correction means for correcting the measurement result of the concentration of the specific component in the liquid sample that is applied to the biosensor, on the basis of the time measured by the time measurement means.

Abstract
A liquid sample measurement apparatus of the present invention is provided with a timer for measuring the time from when a biosensor is attached to a liquid sample measurement device which measures the concentration of a specific component in a liquid sample that is applied to the biosensor to when the liquid sample is applied to the biosensor, and correction based on the time measured by the timer is performed to the measurement result of the concentration of the specific component in the liquid sample that is applied to the biosensor. Thereby, the measurement precision can be enhanced with utilizing the correction algorithm in which the ambient temperature and the temperature of the biosensor itself are considered.
