A hemoglobinometer or haemoglobinometer (British English) is a medical device used to measure hemoglobin concentration in blood.{{cite journal |last1=Schmalzel |first1=JL |last2=Steinke |first2=JM |last3=Randal |first3=VT |last4=Shepherd |first4=AP |date=2 October 1989 |title=An optical hemoglobinometer for whole blood |url=http://ajpheart.physiology.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=2801989 |journal=The American Journal of Physiology |publisher=San Antonio: University of Texas Health Science Center |volume=257 |issue=4 Pt 2 |pages=H1306–11 |doi=10.1152/ajpheart.1989.257.4.H1306 |pmid=2801989 |access-date=10 June 2011 |archive-date=4 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304130826/https://journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1152/ajpheart.1989.257.4.H1306 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }} 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.{{cite journal |last1=Noiri |first1=E. |last2=Kobayashi |first2=N. |last3=Takamura |first3=Y. |last4=Iijima |first4=T. |last5=Takagi |first5=T. |last6=Doi |first6=K. |last7=Nakao |first7=A. |last8=Yamamoto |first8=T. |last9=Takeda |first9=S. |last10=Fujita |first10=T. |date=4 December 2005 |title=Pulse total-hemoglobinometer provides accurate noninvasive monitoring |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16352948/ |url-status=live |journal=Critical Care Medicine |publisher=University of Tokyo |volume=33 |issue=12 |pages=2831–5 |doi=10.1097/01.ccm.0000190430.96750.51 |pmid=16352948 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304130828/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16352948/ |archive-date=4 March 2022 |access-date=10 June 2011 |s2cid=46153309}}
