Abstract
This paper presents a portable blood storage with thermal control system for higher frequent blood testing. The temperature of blood sample can be controlled by the proposed device by combination of heat release system and a peltier device. A portable battery was employed as a power source, in consideration to the device portability. Time course of sample temperature was measured, when the sample was cooled by the developed device. Time course of sample temperature was measured. when the sample temperature was maintained at a constant with and without fluctuation of ambient temperature. The human blood glucose in fresh blood and that in aged blood with different storing temperatures are also compared.
