A method of measuring hematocrit is provided. The method for measuring hematocrit includes the following steps. A test strip is provided. The test strip includes a reaction region and a pair of electrodes disposed in the reaction region. A whole blood sample is entered to the reaction region. After the whole blood sample enters the reaction region, a plurality of sets of square wave voltages are intermittently applied to the pair of electrodes based on a square wave voltammetry method to obtain a plurality of feedbacks related to hematocrit. An interval between two adjacent sets of square wave voltages ranges from 0.1 seconds to 4 seconds. A feedback of an n-th set of square wave voltages is obtained to calculate a hematocrit value of the whole blood sample and n is a positive integer greater than 1. A hematocrit value is calculated according to the feedback.

Method of measuring hematocrit and method of testing blood

The present disclosure provides a method for detecting an analyte concentration. The method includes providing a test strip, which includes a first electrode set including a first reaction area, a second electrode set including a second reaction area, and a reaction reagent layer disposed on the second reaction area. The method includes providing a blood sample and bringing the blood sample into contact with the first electrode set and the second electrode set, applying a first voltage to the first electrode set by voltammetry to obtain a first response value, calculating a hematocrit value according to the first response value, applying a second voltage to the second electrode set to obtain a second response value, and calculating the actual value of the analyte concentration by using the hematocrit value and the second response value.
