The invention disclosed herein relates to a dry sensor for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a liquid beverage sample. Described herein is a novel dry sensor which is able to receive a liquid sample and adjust the pH of the liquid to be suitable for assaying an analyte of interest without the need to add reagents to the sample and/or to perform manually timed operations and able to detect a redox reaction in the presence of a liquid sample. The meter disclosed herein, when connected to the sensor disclosed herein is able to adjust the temperature of the liquid to be suitable for the assay, apply a series of potentials, measure the current at several times, measure the diffusion coefficient of the limiting electrochemical species, calculate the concentration of one or more analytes, and rapidly provide the user with the required information on the liquid sample.

A biosensor system, method and apparatus are provided for implementing threshold based correction functions for biosensors. A primary measurement of an analyte value is obtained. A secondary measurement of a secondary effect is obtained and is compared with a threshold value. A correction function is identified responsive to the compared values.

The correction method uses correction curves that are provided to correct for an interference effect. The correction curves can be linear or non-linear. The correction method provides different correction functions above and below the threshold value. The correction functions may be dependent or independent of the primary measurement that is being corrected. The correction functions may be either linear or nonlinear.
