Abstract
A method and instrument for determining the amounts of metabolic products in blood using a laser beam guided through an ATR plate placed against a blood supplied biological tissue. The intensity of the beam is then detected after being affected by the blood containing the metabolic elements and is used to determine the amounts of metabolic products in the blood.

- 6. A method of determining the amounts of metabolic products in blood comprising the steps of placing a first ATR plate against a surface of a living blood supplied being biological tissue and a second ATR plate against a reference solution lacking said metabolic products, splitting a laser beam from a single infrared laser into first and second partial beams of the same wavelength, guiding said first and second partial beams through said first and second ATR plates, respectively, and detecting the difference in intensity of said partial beams.
