Cartridge for blood coagulometry

A technology of measuring an electrical characteristic of a blood sample is provided that allows easy introduction, into an existing blood test system, a technique of obtaining information on a blood sample from an electrical characteristic of the blood sample. The technology provides a device for measuring an electrical characteristic of a blood sample, the device including: a mixing unit configured to mix a blood cell component and a plasma component on the basis of the composition ratio between the blood cell component and the plasma component in a blood sample; and a blood sample measurement unit configured to measure an electrical characteristic of a blood sample obtained by mixing by the mixing unit.

Electrical characteristic measurement device, electrical characteristic measurement method, and blood condition analysis system

A technology is provided that enables high accuracy electrical measurement regardless of the performance of a measurement device. An electrical characteristic measurement apparatus includes a measurement unit that measures an electrical characteristic of a biological sample in a plurality of frequencies; and an assignment unit that performs assignment of a number of measurements and/or a measurement amplitude for each frequency. Use of a combination of a frequency for which the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is intentionally left low and a frequency for which the SNR is on the contrary improved when an electrical characteristic of a biological sample is measured in multiple frequencies, can provide, as a result, high accuracy electrical measurement optimal for the purpose of measurement.
