Method for measuring temperature of biological sample, measuring device, and biosensor system
First Claim
1. A concentration measurement method of measuring a concentration of an analyte contained in a biological sample in a sensor chip including:
- an electrode unit including a working electrode and a counter electrode, the electrode unit including a reagent containing an electrolyte, and a capillary allowing the biological sample to be introduced therein, the concentration measurement method comprising;
an introduction of introducing a predetermined amount of the biological sample into the capillary;
a temperature measurement of measuring a temperature of the biological sample by applying a first voltage to the electrode unit when the temperature of the biological sample is measured, the first voltage having a potential difference of 1.0 V or greater;
a concentration measurement of measuring the concentration of the analyte contained in the biological sample by applying a second voltage to the electrode unit, the first voltage being greater than the second voltage;
wherein the temperature measurement is executed at least twice in the temperature measurement of measuring a temperature.

Abstract
The concentration measurement method includes: introducing a predetermined amount of the biological sample into the capillary; measuring a temperature of the biological sample by applying a first voltage to the electrode unit when the temperature of the biological sample is measured, the first voltage allowing the temperature measurement to be less affected by increase and reduction in an amount of the analyte contained in the biological sample; measuring the concentration of the analyte contained in the biological sample by applying a second voltage to the electrode unit; measuring an environmental temperature in a surrounding of the biological sample; and correcting the concentration of the measured analyte based on the measured temperature of the biological sample and the measured environmental temperature.
