Abstract:
1. A device configured to be connected to a biosensor that has a working electrode and a counter electrode that are disposed on a proximal end, first and second conductive lines connected to the working electrode and extending to a distal end of the biosensor, and third and fourth conductive lines connected to the counter electrode and extending to the distal end of the biosensor; the device comprising: a first terminal that is configured to be connected to the first conductive line of the biosensor; a second terminal that is configured to be connected to the second conductive line of the biosensor; a third terminal that is configured to be connected to the third conductive line of the biosensor; and a fourth terminal that is configured to be connected to the fourth conductive line of the biosensor; wherein the first and second terminals are disposed on one side of a center line and the third and fourth terminals are disposed on the other side of the centerline, the center line extending between the proximal end and the distal end of the biosensor when the biosensor is connected to the device; and, a measurement circuit for controlling a voltage between the working electrode and the counter electrode using a voltage at the second terminal and a voltage at the fourth terminal and for detecting a current between the working electrode and the counter electrode using a current flowing at the first terminal or the third terminal.
