<p>PCT No. PCT/DE93/00096 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 20, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 20, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 5, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/16370 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 19, 1993.A method for the analysis of a medical sample, particularly a body fluid, with the aid of an analyzing instrument, in which a test fluid, which contains an aliquot part of the sample and reagents, is in an optical cuvette and the temperature of the test fluid is determined in the cuvette. In order to determine the temperature of the test fluid directly and without contact, in a temperature calibration step the optical absorption of a calibrator fluid is determined at various temperatures at at least two wavelengths within the NIR range in order to obtain a calibration data set relating to the temperature-dependency of the optical absorption. In a temperature-measuring step the optical absorption of a test fluid of unknown temperature is measured at the same wavelengths and its temperature is determined by comparison of the absorption data obtained in the measuring step with the calibration data set.</p> |
