Abstract:
1. A sample measurement device for measuring a concentration of a specific component included in a sample deposited on a biosensor, which is attachable to the sample measurement device, the sample measurement device comprising: a voltage source that applies voltage to an electrode of the biosensor; a time measurement component that measures a detection time, the detection time being a length of time from when the biosensor is attached to the sample measurement device until when the sample is deposited on the biosensor; and a controller that (i) controls the voltage applied by the voltage source, (ii) detects the sample deposited on the biosensor, (iii) measures the concentration of the specific component included in the sample, and (iv) sets a time from when the sample deposited on the biosensor is detected until when the voltage is applied to the electrode of the biosensor, according to the detection time detected by the time measurement component.
