Disclosed are a support body, a body fluid collection set, and a body fluid collection method that can easily support a body fluid collection sheet even by a non-physician. The support bodyincludes a first sheethaving an adhesive surfacefor adhering the body fluid collection sheet, and a second sheetadhered to the first sheet. The adhesive surfaceof the first sheetis adhered to the body fluid collection sheetso that the first sheetis separated from the skinand the body fluid collection sheetis peeled off from the skin. Thereafter, the second sheetis superposed on the adhesive surface, and the body fluid collection sheetis supported on the support body

Support body, body fluid collection set, and body fluid collection method

A glucose tolerance analyzer comprising: an accepting section configured to accept inputs of information regarding a type of food or drink ingested by a subject, information regarding an intake amount of the food or drink, and information regarding an amount of glucose in the subject after the ingestion of the food or drink; an output section configured to output an analysis result of glucose tolerance; and a controller configured to: calculate a reference value for analyzing glucose tolerance of the subject based on the accepted information regarding the type of the food or drink ingested by the subject and the information regarding the intake amount of the food or drink, and based on a predetermined index regarding blood glucose increase due to food or drink; analyze the glucose tolerance of the subject based on the accepted information regarding the amount of glucose and based on the calculated reference value; and control the output section to output an obtained analysis result as an analysis result of glucose tolerance.

Glucose tolerance analyzer, glucose tolerance analyzing system, and storage medium

A interstitial fluid collection kit for collecting interstitial fluid extracted via micropores formed in a skin is disclosed. The kit includes a marker sheet that has an adhesive face and that defines a region in which micropores are to be formed; a transparent retention sheet having an adhesive face; and a collecting body that is retained by a part of the adhesive face of the retention sheet and that collects interstitial fluid extracted from the skin.

An in vivo component measurement method allowing how long a high concentration state of a measurement target component continues in an organism to be grasped is provided. In this in vivo component measurement method, a value relating to an amount of a measurement target component in tissue fluid extracted for 60 minutes or more from an organism on which a treatment for enhancing extraction of tissue fluid has been made is acquired.

In vivo component measurement method, data processing method for in vivo component measurement, in vivo component measurement apparatus and collection member

An extraction device for extracting an analyte from living tissue is disclosed that comprises a power source; a first electrode and second electrode connected to the power source; and a holding unit for holding a collecting medium for collecting analyte extracted from living tissue, wherein the collecting medium is in contact with both the first electrode and second electrode continuously. An analyzer comprising the extraction device, method for extracting an analyte, and method for extracting and analyzing an analyte are also described.

Extraction device, analyzer, extraction method, and analysis method

Extraction device for extracting an analyte from living tissue through skin are described that include: (a) a first electrode part having a contact area with the skin of less than about 50 mm; (b) a through-current electrode part; and (c) a power supply part for supplying electrical energy to the first electrode part and the through-current electrode part, and for extracting an analyte in the first electrode part. Analyzers, extraction methods, and analysis methods are also described.
