HbA1c Test presentation
Building upon 4 years’ experience in HbA1c testing by capillary electrophoresis separation, Sebia has adapted this high resolution technology on its CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instrument for an accurate HbA1c measurement at a very high speed.
From whole blood sampling in primary capped tubes to the final result, the CAPILLARYS 3 TERA instruments perform 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 CAPI 3 HbA1c test kit can be used on both venous and capillary blood samples*.
