HEMOLYSIS AND HEMATOCRIT DETECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM

A hemolysis detection method and system includes measuring a conductance of a blood sample in a sample test module at a plurality of multiple-frequency AC inputs provided by a sine-wave generator module, calculating an immittance value for each of the plurality of multiple-frequency AC inputs received from a multichannel A/D converter module using a computer processing module, and subjecting each immittance value calculated to a function that maps immittance values to either lysed blood levels or hematocrit levels residing in the processing module and applying further processing residing in a memory module to produce respective percent-lysed value or hematocrit value of the blood sample.
