The Haemoglobin Colour Scale allows a quick anemia check using a drop of blood and visual comparison to the color scale. This product is on the market. The colour of a finger prick blood sample, soaked into chromatography paper, is compared with the colour of blood of known haemoglobin content depicted on the scale in 2 g/dl increments from 4 g/dl to 14 g/dl. Maternova is now distributing this diagnostic for use outside the U.S. [see our product list here](http://maternova.net/products)
I came across this product while in India and it was being used to test Anaemia in poor localities. I think Sai Enterprises are the exclusive distributors for HCS and are actively involved in supplying these kits through Copack Services, Germany. WHO has done developing countries a big favour in building this Haemoglobin Colour Scale and helping millions of poor people. Well done, Sanjay.
