The invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting undesired measurement conditions in a sample container. The method comprises measuring a fluorescent property of the sample container comprising a sample substrate with impregnated blood sample and incubation buffer to which the blood sample is to be eluted, and determining, based on temporal and/or spectral characteristics of the fluorescent property, whether the fluorescent property is characteristic to a sample container comprising a sample substrate and incubation buffer under said undesired measurement conditions or to a sample container suitable for optical measurement of analyte contained in the sample. Thus undesired measurement condition can be a floating sample substrate or a foreign body in the sample container. By means of the invention, reliability of neonatal screening, for example, can be increased.
A method for detection of an undesired measurement conditions, such as a floating sample substrate or foreign bodies in a sample container containing a sample substrate and incubation buffer, the sample substrate comprising a blood sample to be eluted to the incubation buffer, and the method comprising;
A method for analysing of the content of a component in samples eluted from sample substrates to incubation buffer contained in a plurality of sample containers of a sample plate, comprising
An apparatus for automated optical analysis of a blood sample in an incubation buffer contained in a sample container, the blood sample being provided into the incubation buffer on a sample substrate having an impregnated blood sample comprising;
