Abstract

A biological detection calibration system includes a biological detection device and a light calibration device. The biological detection device is for detecting a biological sample and includes a light source and a controller electrically connected thereto to control the light source to emit a light. The light calibration device includes a carrier, disposed at a detecting position of the biological sample in the biological detection device to receive the light emitted from the light source, and a calibration sample, disposed on the carrier and including a light detector. The light detector is for detecting intensity of the light and transmitting intensity information to the controller. The controller reads the intensity information of the light and compares the intensity information with a predetermined value to modify driving energy of the light source so that the intensity of the light detected by the light detector is not less than the predetermined value.
