Near-field-communication or rfid based electrochemical biosensor and method for an ingredient measurement using thereof

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a near-field-communication or a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) based electrochemical biosensor capable of measuring an ingredient by being inter-worked with a wireless communication device such as a smartphone and a method for an ingredient measurement using thereof. The near field communication or radio-frequency identification based electrochemical biosensor, includes: a casing having a specimen introduction channel formed therein; an ingredient measurement electrode disposed in the casing and measuring a specific ingredient of a specimen; a reaction reagent portion disposed in the casing and reacting with the specimen; a specimen recognition electrode disposed in the casing and recognizing the introduction of the specimen; an antenna transmitting and receiving signals and power to and from a smart device or a tester; and a control integrated circuit (IC) chip controlling the ingredient measurement electrode, the specimen recognition electrode, and the antenna.
