In this paper, we describe how commonly present in tissue substances - sodium chloride and glucose - affect the optical spectrum of an immunosuppressive drug (Cyclaid® by Apotex). Prepared samples were investigated using the spectrophotometer in the spectrum range from 250 nm to 1100 nm. The maximum wavelength shift calculated on the basis of measurement results is not bigger than the measurement wavelength step. So, it can be concluded, that the small amount of sodium chloride or glucose does not influence the measurement and it is possible to apply spectrophotometry in a point-of-care sensor of the Cyclaid® by Apotex level.
