Portable blood physiology meters exist that enable researchers to measure various parameters in field settings rather than having to store and transport samples, and have much promise for conservation physiology of vertebrates.

Abstract

Portable blood physiology meters exist that enable researchers to measure various parameters in field settings rather than having to store and transport samples. Although there is need for more thorough calibrations of these devices, they have much promise for conservation physiology of vertebrates.
