REAGENT COMPOSITION The stated values are for guidance. It is advisable that each laboratory determines its own
A. Buffered resin: Buffered ionic exchange resin 0.8%; pH 6.85 reference values.
B. Lysing reagent: Potassium cyanide 8 mM and surfactant.
C. Standard: Freeze-dried erythrocytes. The concentration value is stated on the label. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Set of Controls: Freeze-dried erythrocytes. The concentration values (two levels) are stated The performance characteristics depend on the method used. It is recommended to calcu-
on the label. late these data for each particular test protocol. These results have been obtained using a
manual method.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
The buffered resin and the lysing reagent, stored at room temp. (≤ 25 ºC), will remain stable Sensitivity, as detection limit: 2.0%
until the expiration date stated on the label. Linearity: Up to 15%. For higher values, it is recommended to dilute the sample 1/2 in saline
Standard and Controls should be kept at 2-8ºC, protected from light. Once rehydrated (NaCl 0.9%) and assay once again. Multiply the final result by 2.
these are stable for two weeks stored at 2-8ºC, or 8 weeks if aliquoted and frozen (-20 ºC). Accuracy: 96 %.
Repetitivity, as %CV: 2.5%
Signs of reagent deterioration: Reproducibility, as %CV: 3.0%
Reagent A blank < 0.065. Trueness: Results obtained with this reagent did not show systematic differences when

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
General laboratory equipment. INTERFERENCES
Centrifuge. High faetal hemoglobin concentrations (HbF) will give abnormally high HbA1 values.
Spectrophotometer or photometer with thermostated cuvette (37 ºC). Light path cuvette: Likewise, abnormally low values can be obtained with samples with a high abnormal
1 cm. hemoglobin content (HbC,HbS). The unstable fraction (aldimine) is eliminated during resin
mixing and does not contribute to the glycohemoglobin value.
SAMPLE The method is independent of the working temperature, provided the assay is carried
Whole blood with EDTA as anticoagulant. Stable 1 week at 2-8º C. out within a reasonable temperature range, 20 and 30 ºC. If the temperature during the
assay is far from this range the results can be erroneous.
CAUTION
Lysing reagent contains cyanide. Do not mix with acids. Wash hands after handling. QUALITY CONTROL
Blood used in the standards and control preparations has been found to be negative in the Control samples (Set of Controls Ref. 99 66 36) should be included in each test series. Each
reaction with HBsAg and HIV. However they should be handled with care. particular laboratory should establish its own control program.
The safety statements are on the label. It is advisable to read SDS before reagent manipula-
tion. REFERENCES

VERY IMPORTANT
Flückiger, R., Woodti, T., (1985) Clin. Chem., 31, 114-117.
It is very important to homogenize the resin suspension before each
dispensation. Otherwise, the amount dispensed will be variable and the
separation will be erroneous.
