  • Patent number: 10732138
    Abstract: A biosensor strip includes a strip body, a working electrode and a chemical reagent layer, wherein the strip body has a conductive portion and a reaction channel. The partial wall that forms the reaction channel is a partial or an entire surface layer of the conductive portion. The reaction channel has an opening that receives the sample fluid and an electrode hole. The working electrode is embedded in the electrode hole. The chemical reagent is configured in the reaction channel and generates an electrochemical reaction with the analyte. Therefore, after the sample fluid covers the reaction channel and the working electrode via the opening, the conductive portion and the working electrode on the wall of the reaction channel generate sensing currents and output the signals via the first and second signal output sides to determine an analyte concentration in the sample fluid.

  • Patent number: 9386945
    Abstract: A blood lancing device includes a housing unit and a cap. When the cap is disposed at an initial position, a second drive element is blocked by a first drive element from forward movement relative to the first drive element. When the cap is moved from the initial position to a retracted position, the first drive element pushes the second drive element so that the second drive element is deviated from the first drive element when a holder holding a lancet is moved to a trigger position, thereby allowing for a high speed movement of the holder from the trigger position to a pricking position by virtue of biasing action of a first biasing member.
