Abstract

Methods are provided for deriving/determining an analyte concentration that include recording measurement values during a time development indicating a progress of a detection reaction of at least one test substance and a body fluid sample and providing at least one measurement curve F(t) containing the measurement values, where the detection reaction is known to be influenced by the analyte concentration and at least one disturbance variable Y. The methods also include deriving an end value of the measurement curve to form a first variable x1, and deriving at least one fit parameter by taking into account an exponential characteristic of the measurement curve, and where the fit parameter forms at least one second variable x2. The methods further include deriving/determining the analyte concentration by using at least one multivariate evaluation algorithm adapted to combine x1 and x2. Also provided are computer programs and devices that incorporate the same.
