A **hemoglobinometer** or **haemoglobinometer** ([British English](/source/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences#ae_and_oe)) is a medical device used to measure [hemoglobin](/source/Hemoglobin) [concentration](/source/Concentration) in [blood](/source/Blood).[4] It can operate by [spectrophotometric measurement](/source/Spectrophotometry) of hemoglobin concentration. Portable hemoglobinometers provide easy and convenient measurement of hematological variables, especially in areas where [clinic laboratories](/source/Medical_laboratory) are unavailable.[5]

As per guidelines of [National AIDS Control Organisation](/source/National_AIDS_Control_Organisation) (NACO) for accurate results & mass screening,[citation needed] analysis using hemoglobinometer is a recommended method used for [absorbance](/source/Absorbance) measurement of whole blood at Hb/HbO2/[Isobestic point](/source/Isosbestic_point),[citation needed] based on [microcuvette](/source/Cuvette) technology such as HemoCue 301[6] and Mokshit-Chanda-AM005A.[7]
