Abstract: A method of measuring hematocrit (HCT) and a measurement device using in the method and depends on an electrode test specimen to create a capacitor charging effect and consequential change in discharge current for measurement of hematocrit. The method of measuring hematocrit comprises steps as follows: (a) Instill blood into a pair of test electrodes which is installed in the present invention and apply a voltage to the pair of test electrodes; (b) Remove the voltage applied to the pair of test electrodes and measure a discharge current value; (c) Refer to a predetermined decision rule and the discharge current to obtain a hematocrit value for blood. As such, the present invention which relies on an electrode test specimen in measurement of hematocrit corresponding to a discharge current value during electric discharge contributes to precision and reliability in contrast to conventional hematocrit tests.

Abstract: An electrode reaction area testing method of biosensor test strip includes: (1) preparing a semi-finished or finished test strip product having at least one sensing window corresponding to an electrode reaction area; a plural electrodes exposed from the electrode reaction area; (2) detecting the electrode reaction current of the electrode reaction area to obtain a first electrode reaction current and a third electrode reaction current; (3) calculating a current ratio of the first electrode reaction current to the third electrode reaction current; (4) determining the current ratio; (5) completing the detection of the electrode reaction area to determine whether the semi-finished or finished test strip product is good or defective, so as to test the accuracy of the separating plate attaching position or the insulating position and the applicability of the electrode reaction area in the manufacture of the test strip.

Abstract: A method for fast measurement of a specimen concentration which needs a sensing strip with an electrode test region on which an enzymatic reagent with a specific ingredient is coated and has steps as follows: place a specimen on the electrode test region of the sensing strip; apply a high voltage on the electrode test region for a period to create electrochemical current therein by which at least a faradic current and at least a non-faradic current are generated in the electrode test region; apply a measuring voltage less than the high voltage or the same as the high voltage on the electrode test region to generate a total current including faradic and non faradic currents and the total current finally reaching a steady current, which is measured for calculating a specimen concentration.
