Appl. No.:

09/264786

Inventors:

Brian J. Erickson - Woodbury MN
Philip J. Stout - Roseville MN
Joel R. Racchini - Edina MN

Assignee:

Integ, Inc. - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

G01J 100

US Classification:

356213

Abstract:

An analyte (e. g. , glucose) is tested in a sample (e. g. , blood or blood-free interstitial fluid) having both the analyte and other constituents (e. g. , protein). The analyte has an absorption peak over a narrow bandwidth at a characteristic wavelength. The other constituents have an absorption over a broad bandwidth. The broad bandwidth includes and is broader than the narrow bandwidth. Radiant energy (e. g. , IR radiation) is directed at the sample. The energy has a source bandwidth including the broad bandwidth. The sample absorbs a portion of the energy. A remainder of the energy is available for analysis. The remainder is analyzed by filtering the remainder into an analyte portion and a reference portion. The analyte portion contains substantially only the narrow bandwidth. The reference portion contains substantially only the broad bandwidth.
