SCREEN IFA TEST HBA1C
Fluorescence Immunoassay Hba1C
REF: SC-1347-20
Rapid test for measuring the HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) value in whole blood using the Immunofluorescence Analyzer. For professional in vitro diagnostic use only. The HbA1c Cassette Test (Whole Blood) is based on immunofluorescence for the quantitative measurement of HbA1c in whole blood. Measurement of HbA1c is recommended as a long-term marker of metabolic control in people with diabetes mellitus. This test can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of diabetes and in the identification of patients potentially at risk of developing diabetes. Human erythrocytes are freely permeable to glucose. A slow, constant non-enzymatic process takes place within each erythrocyte between hemoglobin A and various sugars. The resulting product is known as glycated hemoglobin or glycohemoglobin. Human erythrocytes are freely permeable to glucose. A slow, constant non-enzymatic process takes place within each erythrocyte between hemoglobin A and various sugars. The resulting product is known as glycated hemoglobin or glycohemoglobin. A chronic high blood sugar level in a person with diabetes mellitus is known to cause long-term complications over the years. It has been shown that good metabolic control, i.e. lowering the concentration of HbA1c, delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic complications.
