A method and apparatus for the quantitative analysis of sample liquids. A sample is dried and irradiated with visible and/or infrared light. Light that is diffusely or specularly reflected from the sample and sample carrier is detected. and analysed.

Apparatus for the quantitative analysis of sample liquid

A method of analyzing clinically relevant sample liquids and suspensions is such that where infrared spectra of dried samples are generated and evaluated using a multivariate evaluation procedure. In the evaluation procedure, the samples to be analyzed are assigned to classes. The evaluation procedure is trained with samples of known classes to adjust the parameters of the evaluation procedures such that samples of unknown classification can be assigned to known classes. In an advantageous manner, the infrared spectra can be generated by a transmittance measurement on a dried film of the sample.

Method of analyzing clinically relevant liquids and suspensions

The invention concerns a method for the quantitative analysis of sample liquids. A sample is dried and irradiated with visible and/or infrared light. Light that is diffusely or specularly reflected from the sample and sample carrier is detected and analysed. Furthermore the invention concerns a system for carrying out the method according to the invention and a sample carrier having a diffusely or specularly reflecting surface.
