AI Technical Summary
The accuracy of existing electrochemical biosensors is significantly affected by hematocrit (HCT), especially in individuals with high HCT levels where the error is greater. Existing technologies are either complex and costly to design, or have unstable and low-cost HCT correction methods that are prone to errors.
The design employs a single counter electrode for both the HCT detection region and the substrate detection region. The HCT detection region contains no enzyme or electron mediator, while the substrate detection region contains an enzyme or electron mediator. By applying different voltages, a dual electrochemical test circuit is established. The shared counter electrode does not require additional electrodes and avoids the influence of active substances on HCT detection.
It achieves cost reduction, improved detection stability and accuracy without adding counter electrodes, is applicable to the detection of a variety of biological substances, and enhances the stability of HCT and detection sample concentration.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to, especially for a new structure test paper for electrochemical biosensor. BACKGROUND
[0002] On the market, disposable electrochemical biosensors (blood glucose test paper, uric acid test paper, blood ketone test paper and total cholesterol test paper, etc.) have been used for the determination of the concentration of substrates such as blood glucose, uric acid, blood ketone and total cholesterol in human blood. The basic principle is that when the blood sample enters the test paper reaction zone, under the action of a certain electric potential, the reaction current generated by the corresponding substrate is converted into the monitoring of the corresponding substrate concentration.
[0003] The accuracy of such electrochemical test paper on the market is significantly affected by the hematocrit (HCT) of human blood. In some environments, the influence even far exceeds that of other factors. Special groups such as infants have higher hematocrit, and the error is greater. Therefore, eliminating the influence of hematocrit is one of the keys to improving the accuracy of such products. The electrochemical test paper with HCT correction on the market generally uses impedance to determine the impedance of blood, so most of them use an HCT working electrode and an independent HCT counter electrode to form an electrode circuit, or an HCT working electrode and a substrate detection working electrode share a counter electrode to form an electrode circuit to realize detection. The former will lead to more complex design and higher instrument cost, and because of the additional electrode lead, the entire test paper needs a relatively wider width, further increasing the cost; the latter shares a counter electrode, which needs to cover active substances such as enzymes or electron mediators with the working electrode to form a loop, catalyzing and promoting the detection of the oxidation-reduction current of the substrate. However, due to the presence of active substances, when an alternating voltage is applied, an additional direct current signal will be generated, resulting in an abnormally low impedance value, thus reducing the stability of the HCT electrode and causing the HCT measurement result to deviate, ultimately causing the corrected concentration to deviate.
[0004] For example, the application number CN202220702047.2 is a detection test paper with high precision without code adjustment, which is most similar to the present scheme.
[0005] In this patent, conductivity is used to determine the HCT value of blood. The HCT detection area is a detection loop composed of two electrodes, that is, there is a separate HCT working electrode and an HCT counter electrode to form a loop for blood impedance testing. The other working electrode and the other counter electrode form a second loop, which is responsible for measuring the current value of the small molecule substrate in the blood. By constructing a linear relationship between the measured conductivity and the corresponding HCT value, the compensation of the measured current value under different HCT is completed, and the final test result is corrected.
