Measuring apparatus and measuring method

A method for measuring glucose concentration in a blood sample, the method comprising the steps of:

• introducing the sample to a measuring apparatus comprising a first measuring unit, a second measuring unit and a control unit;
• applying a first signal to the sample in a state in which the sample is reacted with a reagent;
• measuring via the first measuring unit a first electric response of the sample to the first signal to obtain a glucose concentration value;
• applying a single second signal to the sample in a state in which the sample is not reacted with the reagent, the second signal changing its value from a first level to a second level and thereafter maintaining the second level for a certain period of time;
• measuring via the second measuring unit a second electric response of the sample to the single second signal as a peak value of a response signal caused by the change in the second signal from the first level to the second level;
• and
• determining via the control unit a hematocrit value of the sample based on the peak value of the second electric response by referring to a correspondence relationship between the peak value and the hematocrit value.
