ADAMS A1c HA-8190V set

Highly efficient HbA1c analysis for therapy and diagnosis using HPLC (reference method) with highest precision (VK<1%) in only 24 seconds.

• Ideally suited for high throughput - in fast mode only 24 seconds and in variant mode only 58 seconds per finding.
• No interference of the most common Hb variants HbC, HbS, HbD and HbE.
• Indication of the Hb variant on the report and output of a correct HbA1c result.
• No interference with carbamylated samples and elevated HbF values.
• Seamless mode switching FM/VM by LIS, custom rack, touch screen or middleware
• High quality column separation
• Can process EDTA but also heparin and NaF samples
• Hemolysed capillary blood samples can be measured without change of instrument setting
• Cap piercing - pipettes from closed primary tubes
• STAT mode - special single sample holder allows easy measurement of an emergency sample during rack operation
• Pipets only approx. 8 μL whole blood - no pre-dilution or haemolysis necessary
• Unique stirring-mixing function for even more precise results directly in mmol/mol (according to IFCC definition)
• Time saving as no barcode label alignment is necessary
• Eluent change possible during sample measurement/operation
• No column bound reagents. Reagents can be changed at any time, independent of batch assignment.
• Operator management system (registration of operator ID, authorised system access, printing and recording of operator name/ID on test result)
• Colour touch screen display
• Loading capacity of 100 sample tubes - expandable to 200 samples with the Side Sampler
• Calibration only required once (simultaneously in Fast Mode and Variant Mode)
• The Adams measures absolute i.e. measurement in mmol/mol (afterwards conversion in %). This is the gold standard according to IFCC

Results

Fast Mode: HbA, HbA1c, HbF

Variant Mode: HbA1c (stable HbA1c), HbF, HbA1 and detection of abnormal haemoglobin

HbS, HbC, HbD and HbE and correct HbA1c results in the presence of Hb variants
