“…This is by using the light absorbance of the solution. It is used to model the relationship between y, the concentration of the solution to X, the light absorbance (5). While a is a constant value when X is 0 and b is slope.…”

“…To obtain a maximum light absorbance, there is a specific color of the solution that varies according to the range of the wavelength. An instrument that commonly uses colorimetric analysis is called colorimeter and it works on a specific wavelength [5]. To date, various works have been reported on developing low-cost colorimeters [6][7][8][9].…”

“…To date, various works have been reported on developing low-cost colorimeters [6][7][8][9]. Most of the researchers nowadays use a microcontroller to simplify the process of controlling and measuring the colorimetric devices [5,6,10,11]. A simple and portable single channel colorimeter was developed by Suzuki et al to determine the nitrite and iron in river water [10].…”

This paper presents a simple and portable body iron reader to analyze the concentration of iron via colorimetric analysis. Through this approach, early diagnosis can be made for diseases such as iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia. The uses of spectrophotometer to analyze a concentration of analyte in a sample can be reconsidered. Spectrophotometer nowadays is bulky and very expensive. The proposed portable reader can gives the user a result of concentration of analyte in a sample solution almost the same as the commercially available spectrophotometer. Through a comparison, the portable body iron reader managed to obtain a 0.9986 coefficient of determination value which has only 0.13% of error. Moreover, this device can works with a battery without the needs of power source.
