Improved reference measurement method for hemoglobin A1c by use of liquid chromatography-isotope dilution-tandem mass spectrometry.
We have developed an improved reference measurement method for hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) 1 based on liquid chromatography–isotope dilution–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ID-MS/MS) with traceability to the SI unit. The method has a small measurement uncertainty (MU) and gives results in good agreement with the accuracy-based IFCC reference method. Kaiser et al. (1 ) demonstrated the possibility of u...
متن کاملCommutable calibrator with value assigned by the IFCC reference procedure to harmonize serum lactate dehydrogenase activity results measured by 2 different methods.
BACKGROUND The availability of commutable calibrator materials may ease considerably the task of harmonizing assay results and ensuring their traceability to reference procedures. We sought to verify the commutability of potential calibrator materials and evaluate their effectiveness in harmonizing LDH results by 2 measurement methods. METHODS We measured LDH in 109 serum samples and 31 mater...
متن کاملStatus of hemoglobin A1c measurement and goals for improvement: from chaos to order for improving diabetes care.
BACKGROUND The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) established the importance of hemoglobin A(1c) (Hb A(1c)) as a predictor of outcome in patients with diabetes mellitus. In 1994, the American Diabetes Association began recommending specific Hb A(1c) targets, but lack of comparability among assays limited the ability of clinician...
متن کاملThe Analytical Goals for Hemoglobin A1c Measurement in IFCC Units and National Glycohemoglobin Standardization
The variation of a biological measurand can be expressed in the units of the measured concentrations or as a percentage of the absolute variation relative to the mean concentration. For example, given that different metrologic systems are in use for the measurement of human body temperature, this parameter can be expressed in degrees Celsius (Europe), degrees Fahrenheit (US), or degrees Kelvin ...
متن کاملChopper-Based Real-Time Load Emulator with Feed-Forward and Hysteresis Current Controller
Nowadays, the usage of load emulators, is the best method for implementation and analysis of different electrical load change scenarios in laboratories. This paper presents an improved programmable load emulator which can emulate both reference active and reactive power simultaneously. The proposed control system can track the dynamic load changes rapidly and accurately in addition to pulse cha...
