• Up to three samples can be run simultaneously,
• Just 3.5 µl whole blood required (finger stick or venous EDTA/Heparin),
• Minimal operator intervention – simply add sample & run.

Boronate affinity technology utilises covalent binding of all cis-diols of glucose to hemoglobin using a boronate matrix. This specific binding allows the complete separation of the glycated and non-glycated haemoglobin fractions.

Overall this provides a patient result with:

• No interference from practically all abnormal hemoglobins,
• Consistent performance with no calibration required,
• The security that glycated haemoglobin is measured accurately every time.

In line with the ADA/EASD/IDF Working Group on HbA1c recent guidelines for reporting HbA1c, the Tri-stat is certified to report in the following units:

• IFCC (mMol HbA1c/mol Hb),
• NGSP (% HbA1c).
