Infrared spectroscopy has been applied to analyse glucose and cellular components in whole blood with the aim of developing an online clinical diagnostic and monitoring modality. Leucocyte adsorption onto the CaF2 windows was observed over a period of several hours under continuous blood flow using a transmission cell of 30 mu m path length. This build-up of cellular material on the windows is responsible for diminishing the sample path length under the flow conditions chosen. The adsorption dynamics have been characterised and their impact on glucose monitoring is reported. For short-term monitoring (<2 hours) a standard error of prediction of 11 mg/dL with human citrated blood samples from three different subjects was achieved. Furthermore, the leucocyte build-up was also reported for porcine EDTA blood monitoring. Consequences and testing opportunities with regard to the first stages in the immune cell reaction to the exposure of body-foreign materials to anticoagulated whole blood are discussed.
