Abstract

A method of multicomponent analysis for blood substrates based on FTIR spectroscopy is described. Venous and capillary blood was used as a matrix, with sample volumes as small as 1 (mu) l. The spectra were obtained by transmission and diffuse reflection measurements from dried samples on a disposable carrier. The mean square prediction errors for 90 blood samples form different patients, calculated by cross- validation, were found to be 18 mg/dl for glucose, 17.5 mg/dl for cholesterol, 23.5 mg/dl for triglycerides, and 0.77 g/dl for haemoglobin. The mean square prediction errors for serum analyses are smaller: for a population of more than 200 serum samples we found 8 mg/dl for cholesterol, 14.9 mg/dl for triglycerides, 0.23 g/dl for total proteins, and 8.7 mg/dl for urea. The in-series standard error for the glucose concentration was low as 2.2 mg/dl. The combined spectroscopic and biological error for glucose was found to be 7 mg/dl. This value includes the 'matrix effect'. In independent serum samples glucose concentrations were measured with a total error of 16 mg/dl.
