A glucose sensor system comprising the steps of using as a sample
discriminating parameter a ratio (I/.DELTA.I) of a measured current value
I to the time-differential value of the current value .DELTA.I, defining
a discrimination function that discriminates whether a sample is blood or
control fluid and uses the discriminating parameter as an independent
variable, quantitating as a discriminating index a numeric value obtained
by substituting a discriminating parameter value into this discrimination
function, and automatically discriminating, based on this index, whether
the sample is blood or a control fluid, whereby a kind of the sample can
be automatically quantitated by measuring electric current when a sensor
system is used for quantitating the concentration of an analysis object
in the sample.
