Product Details: Brand : Boditech Med Incorporated Size : 25 Test Samples : Whole blood Sample volume : 75 Microliter Cat No : CFPC-38 Storage Temperature ; 4 - 30 DegreeC HbA1c Assessing the level of glycated hemoglobin in the blood This test is certified by NGSP (National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program). It helps diabetic diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis by measuring the glycated hemoglobin concentration (%) in a small amount of blood over the past 3 months. INTENDED USE ichroma HbA1c is a fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA) for the quantitative determination of HbA1c(Hemoglobin A1c) in human whole blood. It is useful as an aid in management and monitoring of the longterm glycemic status in patients with diabetes mellitus. For in vitro diagnostic use only. PRINCIPLE: The test uses a sandwich immunodetection method; the detector antibody in buffer binds to antigen in sample, forming antigen-antibody complexes, and migrates onto nitrocellulose matrix to be captured by the other immobilized-antibody on test strip. The more antigen in sample forms the more antigen-antibody complex and leads to stronger intensity of fluorescence signal on detector antibody. Instrument for ichromaâ?¢ tests displays the content of glycated hemoglobin in terms of percent of the total hemoglobin in blood.
