Disclosed are a measurement device and a puncture device that prevent thermal loss and enable decreased cost in laser units. A laser unit () of a measurement device () is equipped with a lens barrel (), a laser rod () disposed inside the lens barrel (), a flash lamp () which is disposed opposite the laser rod () inside the lens barrel () and in which an inert gas is sealed inside a hard glass tube (), and supports (), which are made from a material with thermal conductivity of 100 W/(mK) or more, at least parts of which are disposed outside of the lens barrel (), and which support the circumferential surface of the hard glass tube () in a housing.

Measurement device and puncture device

Provided are a blood sensor that is highly reliable and does not contaminate the interior of the main body of the device, a blood testing device and a blood analysis method. The blood sensor is provided with a plate-shaped base, a blood storage part set roughly in the center of the base, a supply path, one end of which is connected to the storage part and the other end of which is connected to an air pore, multiple detecting electrodes laid on one surface of the supply path connecting electrodes, each coming out of these detection electrodes, and skin detection electrodes in the storage part or near the storage part. The blood detecting device is provided with a skin detecting circuit that detects skin contact by measuring sensor conduction or impedance changes.
