Abstract

Det er tilveiebrakt en fremgangsmåte for bedømmelse av bestanddeler i en prøve av hovedsakelig ufortynnet antikoagulert fullblod, som innbefatter følgende trinn: a) det tilveiebringes et prøvekammer (10); b) et følsomt fargestoff blandes med prøven av fullblod; c) den blandede prøve innføres i prøvekammeret; d) den blandede prøve holdes stille i et tidsrom til det dannes ruller (30) og åpne rom (32) i prøven; og e) en mål-bestanddel som finnes i de åpne rom (32), bedømmes.
