A1C testing plays an important role in diagnosing and managing diabetes. HPLC systems offer a reliable A1c result in the presence of commonly occurring hemoglobin variants.
Performing an A1c test using HPLC technology not only provides an A1c result but also a detailed chromatogram illustrating the hemoglobin fractions. This advanced method allows for detecting the presence of common hemoglobin variants that may in other methods such as immunoassay and enzymatic methods go undetected. For labs that work with diverse patient populations, the ability to detect these variants ensures that clinicians receive the most accurate and comprehensive information for optimum patient care.
With the advancements in automation in HPLC, laboratories can simplify their workflow, reducing manual intervention while improving overall lab efficiency. Automated result review and middleware integration eliminate time-consuming paper-based processes, enabling labs to handle larger workloads without sacrificing accuracy or turnaround times.
