Abstract: A hematofluorometer an excitation source configured to generate an excitation beam, a fluorescence detector configured to a fluorescence beam, and a housing configured to receive a reagent kit for detecting bilirubin in a fluid sample. The reagent kit includes a body defining at least one fluid receiving well and an optical window positioned over each at least one fluid receiving well and a light passage window opposite each optical window. Each window is formed of a material having a fluorescence intensity that is of a lower magnitude than the fluorescence to be detected from the bilirubin. A light sensor within the housing is configured to detect light passing through the reagent kit.
