Good in-use stability, stable for 4 weeks on board
Ready-to-use liquid reagent

Principle

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) produces glycosylated dipeptide and H2O2 when exposed to protease.
Hemoglobin (Hb) is simultaneously denatured and autoxidized by an oxidant.
Hb is ultimately converted to methemoglobin.
H2O2 except the amount which is essential to color for assaying HbA1c percentage, is used in the methemoglobinization reaction.
Thus, regardless of the difference in the amount of hemoglobin between specimens, the HbA1c percentage can be assayed directly within the measurement range.

Principle

Single step: Direct measurement of HbA1c percentage

Single Step: Direct measurement on % of HbA1c

Assay procedure (e.g., Hitachi 917 analyzer)

Assay procedure

A1 is the difference in absorbance between 800 and 660 nm after 5 min.
A2 is the difference in absorbance between 800 and 660 nm after 10 min.
HbA1c percentage is calculated as the difference between A1 and A2
