Biosensor, biosensor measuring apparatus and measurement method

Abstract

A biosensor and a biosensor measuring apparatus whose performance can be easily determined by an ordinary user are provided. A biosensor 100 includes a substrate 1 having a quality deciding section 13 and a sample receiving section 15 provided on the substrate 1 to which a sample is supplied. The quality deciding section 13 includes a moisture absorbing material changed in color through absorption of moisture. The sample receiving section 15 has a reagent section 7 including an enzyme reacted with a test substance as a substrate. The quality deciding section 13 includes a recess 17 formed in the substrate 1, the moisture absorbing material 16 disposed in the recess 17 and a film 18 with no air permeability substantially covering the opening of the recess 17 and closely adhered to the moisture absorbing material 16. Cobalt salt is used as the moisture absorbing material 16.
