Electrochemical Test Strip Rapid Analysis Method

The patent applies preliminary action by performing a rapid mixing phase before the measurement phase. The analyte is pre-mixed with the reaction solution containing mediator and enzyme, allowing the reaction to proceed for a predetermined short time period (e.g., 5 seconds) before measurement. This preliminary mixing and reaction phase ensures that the system is properly prepared for measurement without requiring complete analyte depletion, thus achieving accurate results in reduced time.

The patent implements partial action by measuring the analyte concentration before complete depletion occurs. Instead of waiting for 100% analyte consumption, the method measures at a predetermined time point when partial reaction has occurred. The measurement is performed on the remaining analyte or reaction products at this intermediate stage, which is sufficient to calculate the initial analyte concentration through appropriate mathematical relationships, thereby reducing total analysis time while maintaining accuracy.

The patent applies periodic action through its two distinct phases: a rapid mixing phase and a measurement phase. The mixing phase occurs first for a predetermined time period, followed by the measurement phase. This periodic structure allows the system to complete the chemical reaction quickly before measurement, enabling high throughput while ensuring that the measurement is taken at the optimal moment when sufficient reaction has occurred for accurate quantification.

The patent utilizes parameter changes by controlling the timing and duration of the mixing phase. By adjusting the predetermined time period for mixing and reaction before measurement, the method optimizes the balance between reaction completion and measurement speed. This parameter control ensures that measurements are taken at the optimal time point, achieving both high productivity and maintained precision.
