New assay for the measurement of Glycated Haemoglobin
Axis-Shield is excited to announce the launch of our new assay for the measurement of Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) in human whole blood.
Regular monitoring of HbA1c levels is a key component of diabetic blood glucose control and the Axis-Shield assay provides a convenient method for use in routine testing laboratories. The Latex Turbidimetric Immunoassay methodology gives a highly accurate and precise method combined with a number of convenient features for the user and the lab. Operator handling time is reduced as the assay uses only 2 liquid-stable reagents so there is no requirement for pre-analytical mixing of reagents. Reagents are supplied in instrument-specific packaging so they can be directly loaded onto many systems without the need to further decant. The use of only two reagents also means that only one instrument channel is required, freeing space on your instrument.
The Axis-Shield assay removes the need for a simultaneous Total Hb measurement by utilising a monoclonal antibody against HbA1c.
The reagents can be used on any clinical chemistry instrument and programming is simple – applications for many common instruments are available from Axis-Shield. A 2-level control pack and 5-level calibrator pack are also available.
The Axis-Shield assay is certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardisation Program (NGSP).
