Portuguese term or phrase: hematofluorômetro
This term appears in a Brazilian Ministry of Labour document about occupational health and diseases. It comes under "Recommended analytical method", for diagnosing inorganic lead, among other undesirable substances.

The word suggests "blood", "fluorescence" and "meter". How do these all come together in English?

Thanks in advance.
