Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) analyser IVD (A mains electricity (AC-powered) laboratory instrument intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), also known as glycohaemoglobin, glycosylated haemoglobin or glucosylated haemoglobin, in a clinical specimen. It typically uses a separation technique that is based on charge differences (i.e., ion-exchange chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, electrophoresis), chemical analysis (i.e., colorimetry, spectrophotometry), or structural differences (i.e., affinity chromatography and immunoassay).)
