Advantages & outcomes of the methods.

Methods	Advantages & outcomes
DW-RS	✓ Can be administered in presence or absence of prolongation region.
	✓ Concentrations are determined at D₀ ratio spectra.
	• Two divisors spectrum requirement.
	• Pseudo results are produced when any deflection occurs in the elected wavelength.
	✓ No special software required.
AAC	✓ Can be administered in presence or absence of prolongation region.
	✓ Concentrations are determined at D₀ ratio spectra.
	✓ Single divisor spectrum requirement.
	✓ Higher sensitivity than DW-RS; due to the transition to use a single wavelength.
	✓ No special software required.
DDRD-D₁	✓ Can be administered in presence or absence of prolongation region.
	• Concentrations are determined at D₁ ratio spectra.
	• Double divisor spectrum requirement.
	✓ High sensitivity is secured using this method.
	✓ No special software required.
