Description

This is a Sahli-type haemoglobinometer which is used for measuring the haemoglobin content of blood. The square glass measuring tube at the top of the lid includes a measuring scale based on the ‘Sahli’ haemoglobin estimation system. This is the key analytical component contained in the kit. The other components shown are extractive, storage and cleaning-related.

The Sahli system for haemoglobin estimation was devised by Dr Hermann Sahli (1856-1933), an academic from the University of Bern in Switzerland.
