Bilirubin Stat-Analyzer™ Photometers are
dual-arm, dual-wavelength, narrow-bandpass
photometers that measure Bilirubin (TBR)
and Azobilirubin (DBR) absorbance quantita-
tively. The digital readout is calibrated to
read bilirubin in milligrams per deciliter

The BR2 wavelengths are fixed and will not
shift during the life of the instrument.
