Abstract
A test apparatus and method for measuring a concentration of a target by correcting for an impact of hemoglobin are provided. The target measurement method includes measuring an absorbance of hemoglobin in a sample, measuring an absorbance of a target in the sample, determining variation of the absorbance of the target according to the measured absorbance of the hemoglobin, and correcting the absorbance of the target by subtracting the determined variation of the absorbance of the target from the measured absorbance of the target.
