Abstract
A method and a device for determining the concentration of an analyte in whole blood is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a plasma layer in the whole blood sample. Furthermore, the method includes exposing the plasma layer to light. The method also includes capturing light reflected from the plasma layer. Additionally, the method includes analyzing the reflected light to determine the concentration of the analyte.
