HbA1c Elution Buffer A, when used in conjunction with GSH-60 Automatic HPLC HbA1c Analyzer, is intended for in vitro diagnostic use for the quantitative determination of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in human whole blood.
2. Test Principle
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is applied. Based on the charge differences, this method separates HbF, HbA1c and total HbA1 by using the cation exchange column and three types of elution buffer with different salt concentrations. The percentage of HbA1c peak in relation to the total area is calculated as the HbA1c concentration (%).

Clinical Application of HbA1c
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends
HbA1c Recommended Testing Frequency:
At least twice a year in patients with stable and satisfactorily controlled blood glucose
For those with unsatisfactory blood glucose control and need to adjust their regimen, testing should be done once every 3 months or so
For pregnant women with diabetes mellitus treated with insulin, a test once every 2 months is recommended.
