Test element analysis system (1) for the analytical investigation of a
sample (8), in particular of a body liquid, of human beings or of animals,
comprising test elements (3) with a test zone (7), to be brought in
contact with the sample to be investigated for the purpose of performing
an analysis, in order to measure a measurement quantity characteristic for
the analysis, and an evaluation instrument (2) with a test element holder
(5) for positioning a test element (3) in a measuring position in order to
perform a measurement, and a measurement and evaluation electronics (15)
for measuring the characteristic change and for determining a result of
the analysis, based on the result of the measurement.
In order to provide increased measuring accuracy by improved temperature
compensation, it is proposed, in the scope of the invention, that the
evaluation instrument (2) for the determination of the temperature
prevailing in the test zone (7) of the test element (3) comprises an
infrared detector (20).
