POC Analyzer Compared with HPLC Method

The measurement of the glycated fraction of hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been recommended to diagnose diabetes, in addition to monitoring glycemic control. HbA1c reflects long-term glycemic control over the preceding two to three months as opposed to glycemic control at a single point in time. More...
