A hemoglobinometer or haemoglobinometer (British English) is a medical device used to measure hemoglobin concentration in blood. [4] It can operate by spectrophotometric measurement of hemoglobin concentration. Portable hemoglobinometers provide easy and convenient measurement of hematological variables, especially in areas where clinic laboratories are unavailable. [5]
As per guidelines of National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) for accurate results & mass screening,[ citation needed ] analysis using hemoglobinometer is a recommended method used for absorbance measurement of whole blood at Hb/HbO2/Isobestic point,[ citation needed ] based on microcuvette technology such as HemoCue 301 [6] and Mokshit-Chanda-AM005A.
