Abstract
Recently, we showed that fluorescence measurements can be made directly in blood using a one photon excitation of a near infrared (NIR) emitting dye, rhodamine 800.1 This development we believe could open up the possibilities of making routine clinical measurements directly in blood using fluorescence methods. Such measurements will require fewer preparation steps which will translate to fewer sources of error and faster analysis times. This will also minimize health hazards associated with extensive handling and processing of blood samples.
