Mechanism
• D-10 Hemoglobin A1C program utilizes principles of ion-exchange
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
• Sample diluted on the D10 then injected into analytical cartridge
• D10 deliver programmed buffer gradient to increase ionic strength to
the cartridge
• Hemoglobin separated based on their ionic interaction with cartridge
material
• Separated Hb pass through flow cell of filter photometer then
measured in the absorbance at 415 nm
Specimen
• The specimen is whole blood
• Collected in a vacuum collection tube containing EDTA
• WB specimens may be stored up to 7 days at 2-8 celcius degree
Instability of Reagens
• If reagents were frozen during shipment, mix each bottle by gently
inverting before installing on instrument.
• Do not use any reagents which have any indications of discoloration,
cloudiness or precipitation.
• Do not use any reagents that show any signs of leakage.
• Do not use the calibrator or whole blood primer if the pellet is brown
or the vial is broken. If the lyophilized material contains insoluble
matter, discard the material and reconstitute a new vial.
