Near-infrared-based hematocrit prediction of dried blood spots: an in-depth evaluation

CONCLUSION: A commercially available NIR set-up was extensively and successfully validated, allowing non-contact Hct prediction of DBS with excellent accuracy and precision. This allows to correct for the Hct-based bias observed in partial-punch DBS analysis and the set-up of blood-plasma conversion factors, increasing the application potential of patient-centric sampling.PMID:34624275 | DOI:10.1016/j.cca.2021.10.002
