Abstract
Whole blood is an inhomogeneous, thermally fragile liquid suspension. It was shown that photothermal radiometry yields meaningful results, b ut required irradiation level might disturb the sedimentation process. Despite the necessity for direct contact, photopyroelectric method is more sensitive and also easier and cheaper to implement for routine m easurements. All the experimental results are in a good agreement with developed theoretical models.
