Project description

Code: DBS20AS2AT

This project will investigate the possibility to measure the hematocrit value of the dried blood spot (DBS) sample by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR). This can have an influence on the result, especially when the data are evaluated quantitatively. For this purpose, the results of the NIR measurements will be compared with reference data (Sysmex etc.) obtained simultaneously.
