A sensor for blood component analysis that can correct the effect of a
hematocrit easily is provided. The sensor includes an analysis portion
including a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a reagent
portion. The reagent portion includes an oxidoreductase that reacts with
the blood component and a mediator, and the blood component is measured
by causing a redox reaction between the blood component and the
oxidoreductase in the presence of the mediator and detecting a redox
current generated by the redox reaction by the working electrode and the
counter electrode. In this sensor, the reagent portion further includes a
hemolyzing agent (e.g., sodium cholate) for hemolyzing an erythrocyte,
and when detecting the redox current, the erythrocyte is hemolyzed with
the hemolyzing agent so as to cause hemoglobin released to an outside of
the erythrocyte to react with the mediator and a current generated by
this reaction also is detected to correct an effect of a hematocrit.
