Abstract:
1. A method of measuring Tot-Hb in a sample, comprising, i) collecting an absorbance measurement of the sample using one or more than one first or second spectroscopic apparatus comprising a first primary calibration algorithm for one of Oxy-Hb, “Oxy-Hb plus Deoxy-Hb”, or “Total-Hb minus Met-Hb”, and one or more than one second primary calibration algorithm for one or more than one of Met-Hb, Carboxy-Hb, or Sulf-Hb, or comprising a third primary calibration algorithm obtained by adding terms of the first primary calibration algorithm and the terms of the one or more than one second primary calibration algorithm together; and ii) predicting either:
