Abstract

A method for measuring a target object in a sample by using an oxidase, wherein the influence of dissolved oxygen in the sample can be corrected, is provided. The method comprises: obtaining measurement values by causing the target object in the sample to react with the oxidase under different conditions of two or more types; and performing a correction based on the obtained two or more measurement values and a correction method preliminarily set so as to correct the influence of dissolved oxygen in the sample.

Claims

1. A biosensor comprising:

two or more independent electrode systems, where each electrode system comprises a working electrode and a counter electrode in contact with a substrate; and

two or more different reagent layers, where each reagent layer comprises an oxidase and a mediator and is provided on the working electrode and the counter electrode of each independent electrode system, and where each reagent layer differs in the type or amount of at least one of the oxidase and the mediator, and wherein the biosensor is capable of measuring a single target object present in a single sample under different conditions, where the sample contains dissolved oxygen.

2. The biosensor according to claim 1, wherein the sample is selected from the group consisting of blood, plasma, serum and urine.

3. The biosensor according to claim 1, wherein the sample is blood.

4. The biosensor according to claim 1, wherein the oxidase is selected from the group consisting of glucose oxidase, lactate oxidase, bilirubin oxidase, cholesterol oxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase, uric acid oxidase, peroxidase, sulfurous acid oxidase, amine oxidase, lysyl oxidase, lysine oxidase, amino acid oxidase, diamine oxidase, pyridoxine phosphate oxidase, protein-lysine 6-oxidase, acyl-CoA oxidase, alcohol oxidase, choline oxidase, pyruvic acid oxidase, sarcosine oxidase, tyramine oxidase and glycerophosphate oxidase.

5. The biosensor according to claim 1, wherein the oxidase is glucose oxidase.

6. The biosensor according to claim 1, wherein each reagent layer further comprises at least one hydrophilic polymer, surfactant or saccharide.

7. The biosensor according to claim 6, wherein at least one of the hydrophilic polymer, surfactant or saccharide in each reagent layer differs in type or amount.
