Provided are a biosensor chip measurement machine that can obtain accurate measurement results within a short period of time by employing only a tiny amount as a sample, and a measurement method therefor.A biosensor measurement machine 20 includes a power source 21, which is connected to a voltage regulator 22, a measurement instrument 23, and a controller 24 for supplying power. When a biosensor chip 1 is connected to the biosensor measurement machine 20 and a voltage is applied, the measurement instrument begins the measurement of a current value for a biosensor. When a measured current value or a measured charge value is greater than a reference value, the measurement is ended in accordance with an instruction issued by the controller 24, and when the value is smaller than the reference value, the measurement is continued in accordance with a controller instruction.
