A method of measuring a hemoglobin parameter of a test sample of blood comprises diluting and lysing a test sample. Then, a temperature corresponding to the test sample is obtained. The diluted and lysed test sample is then delivered to a cuvette, and a spectrophotometer determines the absorbance and/or transmittance of the sample in the cuvette. With the absorbance and/or transmittance of the test sample, a first measurement of the hemoglobin parameter of the test sample is obtained. After a first measurement of the hemoglobin parameter is obtained, a processor determines a corrected measurement of the hemoglobin parameter of the test sample. The corrected measurement is a function of the measured temperature that corresponds to the test sample and the first measurement of the hemoglobin parameter. The method of measuring a hemoglobin parameter is valid over a range of test sample temperatures.
