Abstract
With a blood-derived specimen on top of a metal film on a measurement chip, the intensity of reflected excitation light, the resonance angle of excitation light, the intensity of plasmon-scattered light, or the enhancement angle of excitation light is measured, and the acquired measurement is used to obtain a whole-blood hematocrit value. Using the obtained whole-blood hematocrit value, a first signal value that indicates how much of an analyte the specimen contains is converted to a second signal value that indicates how much of said analyte the liquid part of the specimen contains.
