Abstract: A biological material measuring instrument is described. The biological material measuring instrument includes a rotating body and a main body. The rotating body includes one or more cartridge holders having cuvettes in which a reagent and an analyte in a sample react. The main body includes a pair of light-emitting parts and light-receiving parts to optically measure the analyte in the sample. The rotating body further includes a light-emitting optical waveguide for guiding the light of the light-emitting parts to the cuvette, and a light-receiving optical waveguide for guiding.

Abstract: A biometric system is disclosed. The biometric system comprises: a measurement cartridge; and a meter, equipped with the measurement cartridge, for measuring an analyte present in a sample of the measurement cartridge. The measurement cartridge comprises a reagent container, a capillary module, and a reagent rod. The reagent container receives a liquid reagent and has a top sealed with a sealing film. The capillary module comprises a capillary tube which is located on an upper side of the reagent container and collects the sample by a capillary phenomenon, and the capillary tube is introduced into the reagent container by rupturing a contact portion to the sealing film by an applied pressure. The reagent rod comprises a plurality of dry reagent accommodating portions which are located on an upper side of the reagent container and accommodate a drying reagent, and the reagent rod is introduced into the reagent container by rupturing a contact portion to the sealing film by an applied pressure.
