Procedure for determination of total haemoglobin concentration in whole blood not thinned and not haemolytised

摘要

The invention concerns a method for determining a concentration of hemoglobin in a sample of undiluted, unhemolyzed whole blood from a result of a first absorption measurement on the sample performed at a wavelength in the range 490 - 520 nm and a result of a second absorption measurement on the sample. The method comprises processing the results of the first and second absorption measurements to determine the concentration of hemoglobin in the sample, wherein the step of processing comprises compensating for scattering in the sample, said compensating being dependent on the result of the second absorption measurement.
