1. A sample holder comprising:

  • a housing having a width dimension and a depth dimension orthogonal to the width dimension;

    an inlet opening for receiving blood to be analyzed, the inlet opening having an inlet opening depth parallel to the depth dimension, and an inlet opening width parallel to the width dimension;

    an inlet transition chamber in the housing for receiving the blood from the inlet opening;

    an optical chamber, in the housing, defining a void for receiving the blood from the inlet transition chamber, the optical chamber comprising at least one optical window for spectroscopic analysis of the blood, an optical chamber depth extending from the at least one optical window parallel to the depth dimension, and an optical chamber width parallel to the width dimension; and

    an outlet vent, in the housing and fluidly connected to the optical chamber, to provide an outflow path for air, whereinthe inlet opening depth is larger than the optical chamber depth and the inlet opening width is smaller than the optical chamber width.
