Intended Use The Hb Gold instrument and associated reagent kit is intended for the in vitro measurement of HbAic, HbA2/HbF and the detection and quantification of haemoglobin variants in blood samples. Scientific principle The Hb Gold 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 and the chromatogram obtained is recorded and
stored by the internal computer. The software program performs the
analysis of the chromatogram and generates a results report to the
printer and disk to allow electronic archiving. A single Hb Gold 100 test reagent kit is able to run three different assays without user intervention: |
|
|
•
|
HbA1c assay in 5.5 minutes | |
|
•
|
HbA2, HbF, Flb Variants in only 6.5 minutes | |
|
•
|
Hb Variant investigational assay in only 13 minutes | |
