RESUMO

A microcontrolled, portable and inexpensive photometer is described. It uses six light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as radiation sources and a phototransistor as detector, as well as a microcontroller (PIC - Programmable Controller of Interruption). This device provided total autonomy to the proposed photometer, which was successfully applied to determination of Fe2+ in ferrous syrups and of seven clinical biochemical parameters. As the components are cheap (~U$30.00) and easy to find, the proposed photometer is an economical alternative for routine chemical analyses in small laboratories, for research and teaching. Being portable and microcontrolled, it allows doing field chemical analyses.
