Units of this type commonly offer rapid analysis times, often around 1.6 minutes per sample for HbA1c.

Sample handling

Typically features automated sample loading, often accommodating 90 or 290 samples.

Precision

For this class of equipment, a coefficient of variation (CV) of less than 2% is commonly expected for HbA1c.

Technology

Utilises non-porous column and advanced microcomputer technology for hemoglobin separation.

Calibration

Units are typically NGSP certified for HbA1c testing.

Footprint

Compact designs are common, with typical dimensions around 21"W x 20"D x 19"H.

Maintenance

Automated daily maintenance features are commonly found on units of this type.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory power supplies, often 100-240V AC.
