TEST PRESENTATION
Building upon 10 years’ experience in the separation of hemoglobins by capillary electrophoresis, Sebia has adapted this high resolution separation technology on its CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING instrument for a fast and accurate HbA1c measurement.
From whole blood sampling in primary capped tubes to the final result, the CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING instrument performs all sequences automatically.
The clear-cut and precise separation of the different hemoglobin fractions allows accurate HbA1c measurement with no altered results in the presence of frequent interferences (labile A1c, carbamylated Hb, Hb F, Hb S, Hb C, Hb D and Hb E) as well as the incidental detection of the common hemoglobin disorders (sickle cell, beta-thalassemia…). Using the IFCC reference method calculation formula HbA1c/(HbA1c+HbA0), developed for the worldwide assay standardization, the Sebia methodology ensures accurate and reliable results.
The CAPILLARYS Hb A1c kit can be used on venous samples.
