Provided is a method for measuring a component of a biological sample with a biosensor provided with: a capillary for introducing the biological sample; an electrode part including a first electrode system that includes a first working electrode and a first counter electrode in the capillary; and a reagent part disposed so as to be in contact with the electrode part, the reagent part containing an enzyme and a mediator, and the method including a step of starting voltage application for a duration longer than 0 second and up to 0.7 second to the first electrode system within 0 second to 0.5 second after detection of the introduction of the biological sample to obtain a hematocrit value based on a current value obtained thereby.

An apparatus is provided for sensing a molecule in a sample. The apparatus utilizes an electric field to draw molecules from a first chamber through an aperture, defined by a chemical layer, into a second chamber. The apparatus can detect a DNA molecule with, for example, 4, 5, or 6 unique base pairs. As molecules pass through the aperture, a sensor detects or measures a change in an electric parameter used to generate the electric field, thereafter translating the change in the electric parameter into information about the molecule. A divider element separates the first and second chambers and supports a chemical layer defining the aperture. The apparatus enables detection or measurement of molecules over prolonged time at a higher electric field strength than other nanopores, due to a combination of the shape of the divider, structural elements thereon, and thickness of the chemical layer at the aperture.
