Abstract

A blood sugar analyzer has a reaction cell which houses a fixed enzyme membrane and measuring electrode and which receives a blood specimen, to cause a chemical reaction between the specimen and membrane for measuring the blood sugar concentration in the specimen on the basis of the reaction current generated in the electrode by the reaction. The analyzer also monitors the temperature in the cell and the sensitivity of the electrode, and a printer prints out data on the temperature and sensitivity. A digital control device controls overall operation of the analyzer.
