As shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, due to the capillary phenomenon, when blood flows in the flow channel 150 in the case of insufficient blood, there is a possibility that part of the blood is already located between the reference electrode 11a and the detecting electrode Uc, and is: There are also gaps in the road 15G. In the case of insufficient blood, the detection current _31c and the 201241436 detection current I' generated by the reference electrode 31a_ can be measured in accordance with the conventional technique and the blood glucose measurement program is started. However, due to insufficient blood in the flow path 150, the error of the blood glucose concentration measured by the electrochemical measuring device 2 is too large, which affects the measurement quality of the electrochemical measuring device 2〇〇. Different from the conventional technique, since the dielectric constants of air and blood are different, in the case of an embodiment with sufficient blood and an insufficient blood, the electrochemical device 200 detects an electrical signal of a different capacitance. Compared with the prior art, it is possible to accurately detect the lack of blood in the flow channel 150. In addition, various substances are present in the blood, and when these substances are different, the dielectric constant of the blood is also different. Therefore, in an embodiment, in addition to determining whether the blood in the flow channel is sufficient by the electrical signal of the capacitor, the object to be tested can be measured by the electric number of the electric valley. Figure 9 shows a perspective view of an electrochemical test piece according to the present invention - an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, the circuit layout of the electrochemical test piece 4A includes a reference electrode 41a, a working electrode 41b, and a detecting electrode 41c. The electrochemical test piece 4 is further provided with an insulating layer (10). The reference electrode 41a, the working electrode and the detecting (four) electrode extend to the inside of the flow path 150, respectively, and the insulating layer 14 is covered on the detecting electrode 4lc. When blood enters the flow path 15, the blood passes through the insulating layer 14 above the detecting electrode 4lc and does not come into contact with the detecting electrode, flows through the working electrode 41b, and finally flows to the reference electrode 41a. During the measurement, the blood simultaneously contacts the working electrode and the reference electrode 41a, and the blood does not contact the detecting electrode 41c', so that a current can be generated between the working electrode 41b and the reference electrode - current letter 201241436, and the detecting electrode 41c and the reference electrode A capacitor is generated between 41a and the electrical signal of the aforementioned capacitor is measured.

The electrochemical test method comprises the following steps. Step S02: generating an electrical difference between the detecting electrode 31c and the reference electrode 31a, and measuring an electrical signal of at least one capacitance between the detecting electrode 31c and the reference electrode 31a. Step SG4: Determine a process in the electrochemical energy, device 200 according to at least the electrical wiring of the capacitor. In an embodiment, the process % sequence in the step may determine the blood 4 in the flow channel 15 依据 according to the at least - capacitance *t signal. In the case of the actual reward towel, the processing procedure of the step SG4 towel may be to calculate the blood loss-test object according to the aforementioned at least-capacitance electrical signal. In the embodiment, the processing in step S04 may include the following steps. Step S12: determining the amount of blood in the flow channel 15G according to a first-signal of the electrical signal of the at least one capacitor. Step S14: When it is determined that the night in the flow channel 15〇 exceeds the pre-value, the object in the blood is calculated according to the first electric k-number of the at least-capacitance electrical signal. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrical signal of the capacitance between the detecting electrode and the reference electrode is measured by utilizing characteristics of different dielectric constants of air and blood, and the blood shortage in the flow channel 150 can be accurately detected. . In addition, in one embodiment, when the amount of the skin lotion t is reduced (4), the money may have a characteristic of a different dielectric constant, or the blood may have a different dielectric constant when the concentration of the impurity in the blood is different.
