Abstract
An apparatus for measuring hemolysis in a cartridge based automated blood analyzer is described. The apparatus allows hemolysis testing to be performed on a sample which is presented as a whole blood sample for other testing by the cartridge based automated blood analyzer. A disposable module is configured for optically analyzing one or more plasma analytes in a flow cell while red blood cells are acoustically separated from plasma in the flow cell.
