Abstract
Hematocrit, the volume fraction of red blood cells in whole blood, is a crucial metric of animal health in pharmacokinetic and disease model experiments. While robust, current methods for measuring hematocrit can be prohibitory for longitudinal animal models where animal well-being restricts serial blood collection volumes. Here we present in vivo hemoglobin concentration quantification in a mouse ear model using bimodal ratiometric imaging of transient absorption of hemoglobin and stimulated Raman scattering of water. Additionally, we leverage the intrinsic high resolution of nonlinear imaging to demonstrate a low volume method for ex vivo size and volume quantification.
