Mismatched mode thermal lens for assessing thermal diffusivity of serum and plasma from human blood

Abstract:

Thermal diffusivity of human serum and plasma were measured by means of thermal lens spectroscopy. Several samples were studied and results were reported as averages, including standard deviations. The serum and plasma were obtained by random sampling of healthy adult donors at the Guanajuato State Transfusion Center, Mexico; the donors were free of hepatitis, AIDS, and other infectious diseases, all clinically tested. The parameters reported were obtained using the thermal lens aberrant model with the lasers arranged in the mismatched mode.
