Latex Enhanced Immunoturbidimetric method

The Randox assay utilises a latex enhanced immunoturbidimetric method for superior performance

Exceptional correlation to standard methods

A correlation coefficient of 0.98 was obtained with another commercially available method

Excellent precision

The HbA1c assay showed a precision of less than 5% CV

The concentration of HbA1c in the blood of diabetic patients increases with rising blood glucose levels and is representative of the mean blood glucose level over the preceding six to eight weeks. HbA1c can therefore be described as a long term indicator of diabetic control unlike blood glucose which is only a short term indicator of diabetic control.

It is recommended that HbA1c levels are monitored every three to four months. In patients who have recently changed their therapy or in those who have gestational diabetes it may be beneficial to measure HbA1c levels more frequently, at two to four week intervals.
