Whole blood analyses in porous media

摘要: Method and apparatus for analyzing whole blood samples which feature impregnating a gel medium used the analysis of sample with an inert substance. When is placed on medium, substance diffuses from as plasma solutes diffuse into gel. The amount diffusing inversely proportional to hematocrit sample. In one embodiment, are caused react or more reagents in assay various specific analytes. Also, hematocrit, indicated by diffusion rate gel, determined correct such assay.
