Abstract
A method of characterizing a specimen as containing hemolysis, icterus, or lipemia is provided. The method includes capturing one or more images of the specimen, wherein the one or more images include a serum or plasma portion of the specimen. Pixel data is generated by capturing the image. The pixel data of the one or more images of the specimen is processed using a first network executing on a computer to predict a classification of the serum or plasma portion, wherein the classification comprises hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia. The predicted classification is verified using one or more verification networks. Quality check modules and specimen testing apparatus adapted to carry out the method are described, as are other aspects.
