A component measurement device, namely a blood-glucose measurement device, that has a measurement unit that focuses measurement light on a test paper through an illumination lens and receives reflected light from the test paper. The blood-glucose measurement device measures blood components on the basis of results from detecting the reflected light. The illumination lens is provided in the measurement unit such that the focal point of the measurement light is beyond the test paper.

Component measurement device

A component measuring apparatus is provided with a case having a cylindrical case main body and a cover arranged to cover the base end opening section of the case main body; a chip mounting section for mounting a chip; a light measuring section for detecting a prescribed component; a printed board whereupon a control section having a function of controlling the operation of the light measuring section is arranged; a liquid crystal display device; a battery arranging section for arranging a battery provided on the cover; an O-ring arranged between the case main body and the light measuring section on the leading end section of the case main body; and an O-ring arranged between the case main body and the cover on the base end opening section of the case main body. Sealing of inside the case is ensured by the O-ring.

Component measuring apparatus

A component measuring device for measuring the quantity and/or the property of a given component in a specimen by calorimetrically measuring a test strip includes a tip mount on which is to be mounted a tip having the test strip, and a photometric unit. The photometric unit comprises a light-emitting element that applies light to the test strip while the tip is mounted on the tip mount, a light-detecting element that detects light reflected from the test strip, and a holder in which is held the light-emitting element and the light-detecting element. The holder possesses a passage through which passes the light and the reflected light. A light-transmissive member closes the passage with a sealing member interposed therebetween in a portion of the holder which faces the test strip. The component measuring device can also be provided with a stain detecting device which is adapted to detect a stain on the light-transmissive member.
