A hemoglobinometer or haemoglobinometer (British English) is a medical device used to measure hemoglobin concentration in blood. 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. Microprocessor-based hemoglobin meters are also used for measuring and documenting hemoglobin levels in clinical and research settings.
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 and Mokshit-Chanda-AM005A.
