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
