A device for measuring the amount of analyte in a fluid sample, typically glucose in blood. The device comprises three detection areas. The first detection area (10) comprises an analyte specific signal generating component reactable with the analyte to generate a response. The second detection area (12) comprises a predetermined amount of an analyte of interest, typically the same analyte as that being measured, for example glucose, for generating a first calibration or correction response. The third detection area (16) is absent an analyte specific signal generating component and generates a second calibration or correction response. |
