Intended Use The DS5 instrument, dispenser and associated reagent kit are intended for the measurement of HbA1c in blood samples. The system's small size and ease of use makes it ideal for main laboratory, clinic or satellite laboratory settings Scientific principle The DS5 uses cation exchange chromatography in conjunction with gradient elution to separate human haemoglobin subtypes and variants from haemolysed whole blood. The separated haemoglobin fractions are monitored by means of absorption of light and the chromatogram obtained is recorded and stored by the internal computer. A software program in the instrument performs the analysis of the chromatogram and generates a results report on the integral thermal printer. Performance Data |
