An instrument used to measure the amount or concentration of albumin (protein) in a liquid sample, especially blood or urine.
From 'albumin' (the main blood protein) combined with '-meter' from Greek 'metron' meaning 'measure.' This follows the standard scientific naming pattern for measuring instruments.
Before modern lab technology, scientists had to invent special instruments just to detect one protein—albuminometers are relics of when medical testing was like detective work with limited tools.
