The most widely used and accepted method for hemoglobin determination is the cyanmethemoglobin method. However, laboratory spectrophotometers used with this procedure are not amenable to field use. We describe the design of a portable hemoglobinometer for use with the cyanmethemoglobin method. Solid-state light sources and detectors are used, and a simple meter readout of hemoglobin is produced. Results obtained with the portable hemoglobinometer are presented and compared with assays of the same blood by the usual methods.
