Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide one sample holder that is suitable for collection and spectroscopic measurement of a blood sample. In some very specific embodiments, the sample holder is provided with an optical chamber that is specifically designed to spread blood into a thin film, thereby reducing the average attenuation of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) due to scattering of EMR by the red blood cells in a blood sample, without having to hemolyze the red blood cells using sound waves or reagents. Also, the sample holder is designed so that air bubbles are easily pushed through the optical chamber and guided out of the sample holder through a vent. The inlet of some embodiments of a sample holder is a piece of capillary tube and in other embodiments, the inlet is configured to accept the male end of a syringe. In some embodiments, the inlet of the sample holder can accommodate adaptors with different configurations, thereby allowing the sample holder to receive blood from any source, for example a pin prick or a syringe.
