DETERMINATION OF CONDITIONS IN CENTRIFUGED BLOOD BY MEASURED PRESSURE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to method of determining state in blood sample. Method of determining state in blood sample including: providing sample of centrifuged blood divided into layers of plasma and erythrocyte mass; providing measuring probe with pump for aspiration and dispensing; introduction of measuring probe in blood sample vertically in container with samples through plasma downwards to distance of several millimeters from bottom of container; pressure measurement between sample and pump during aspiration or dispensing; comparison of measured pressure with reference value; and supply of signal of presence or absence of condition, where condition is error status, and if measured pressure value does not comply with reference value, error signal is given, and where error state occurs as a result of incomplete centrifugation, and where reference value is selected from group consisting of pressure profile, previously selected range of pressures or inclination of preselected pressure profile section.

EFFECT: method described above is effective for determining state in blood sample.
