Abstract

An acoustic interferometric technique for determining the protein in blood serum is presented. This acoustic approach is based on high-precision measurements of the temperature dependences of the velocity, frequency, and absorption of ultrasound. The acoustic characteristics of blood serum are measured by a constant-length interferometer in acoustic wells with volumes of around 80 μL in the temperature range of 28–40°C and the frequency range of 1.4–14 MHz.
