Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for determining analyte concentration in a rapid and accurate manner. The methods include depositing a physiological sample in an electrochemical cell and finding a first and second current transient. Peak current values are obtained from the first and second peak current values and used to reduce the influence of interferents in a current value. Based on this “corrected” current value, an accurate analyte concentration can be determined.
