Laboratory hematology analyzers designed to determine the quantity of hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying protein of the erythrocytes) in blood, using a standard spectrophotometric method that measures the 540 nm absorption maximum of cyanmethemoglobin. The procedure is performed after a suitable reagent has been added to the specimen of whole blood to hemolyze red cells and convert hemoglobin to cyanmethemoglobin.
