1. An apparatus, comprising:
a spectrometer configured to receive a sample of blood contained within a sample holder, to illuminate the sample of blood as the blood at least partially separates within the sample holder; and
a processor operatively coupled to the spectrometer, the processor configured with instructions to generate spectral data of the sample at a plurality of wavelengths and a plurality of times corresponding to at least partial separation of the sample of blood into a plurality of components of the sample;
wherein a number of spatially resolved sample locations along a height of the sample is within a range from about 2 mm to about 1000 mm.
