Icd10:D58.2[2]  - R71.0[3]

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, analysis using hemoglobinometer is a recommended method used for absorbance measurement of whole blood at Hb/HbO2/Isobestic point, based on microcuvette technology such as HemoCue 301[6] and Mokshit-Chanda-AM005A.[7]
