Abstract
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for the analysis of biological liquid samples, the apparatus having a measurement chamber defining a sample volume with an inlet and an outlet; a fluid handling system adapted for feeding a liquid to the sample volume through the inlet and for removing the liquid through the outlet; a thermostatic sample heater device adapted for controlling a sample temperature of a liquid sample in the measurement chamber; and a processor unit. An analyte sensor output may be corrected on the basis of the initial temperature thus determined. A corresponding method for the analysis of biological liquid samples is provided. Furthermore, a method of performing a quality control procedure using the apparatus or the method is disclosed.
