Abstract
A biosensor includes a cavity for holding a sample, an electrode system for measuring the sample concentration in the cavity, and a thermocouple for obtaining temperature information during measurement. A measurement device includes a reference temperature junction sensor or an environmental temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of reference temperature junctions of the thermocouple. A temperature compensation measures the temperature difference between a measuring junction and a reference temperature junctions of the thermocouple, and specifies the temperature of a reference temperature junction, thereby using the temperature information as the temperature of a measurement component and performing accurate temperature compensation from the measuring junction temperature information and the environmental temperature information with respect to the measured values.
