Fully automated assay of glycohemoglobin with the Abbott IMx analyzer: novel approaches for separation and detection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel assay for measuring glycohemoglobin directly from anticoagulated whole blood with the Abbott IMx analyzer. The glycohemoglobin is labeled with a soluble polyanionic affinity reagent and the anionic complex is then captured with a cationic solid-phase matrix. Glycohemoglobin is quantified by measuring the quenching by heme of the static fluorescence from an added fluorophore. The assay is standardized to report both percent total glycohemoglobin (%GHb) and percent hemoglobin A1c (%HbA1c). Glucose, bilirubin, triglycerides, labile fraction, and hemoglobin variants do not interfere in the assay. Within- and between-run CVs are approximately 4-5%, with total CVs of approximately 6.5%. Highly significant linear correlations (r > 0.97) were obtained in comparison studies with two major assay methodologies. The time to obtain one result is approximately 10 min (including assay of a control), 56 min for 22 results. We describe the development, standardization, and validation of this new method.

Three assays for glycohemoglobin compared.
Using 123 specimens, we compared the concordance of three different methods for determining glycohemoglobin (GHb): the Diamat (Bio-Rad Laboratories), an automated analyzer measuring HbA1c by cation-exchange chromatography; an assay with the IMx analyzer (Abbott Laboratories), based on boronate affinity binding; and an HPLC method measuring HbA1c by cation-exchange chromatography on a PolyCAT A ...
متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukemia cells may interfere in a glycated hemoglobin assay based on fluorescence quenching.
Recently, we observed falsely low results by the Abbott IMx Glycated Hemoglobin assay apparently caused by a high number of leukocytes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Because chronic lymphocytic leukemia and diabetes mellitus (monitored by glycohemoglobin measurements) occur more frequently in the elderly, we examined this interference further. The IMx Glycated Hemoglobin assay (...
متن کاملAutomated enzyme immunoassay for lutropin with the Abbott IMx analyzer.
An automated enzyme immunoassay for human lutropin for use with the Abbott IMx analyzer is described. The assay provides results in approximately 40 min with a sensitivity of 0.25 int. units of LH per liter for up to 23 serum or plasma samples. Cross-reactivity with follitropin (2000 int. units/L) and thyrotropin (2 int. units/L) was negligible; it was 0.016% with human choriogonadotropin (1 X ...
متن کاملDetection of rubella-specific immunoglobulin G: comparison of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an automated microparticle enzyme immunoassay (IMx).
An automated microparticle enzyme immunoassay (IMx Rubella IgG Antibody Assay; Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill.) was compared with a conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of rubella-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) in 400 consecutive antenatal patients. There was complete agreement between the two tests in this population, which had a positivity rate of 99%...
متن کاملThe Abbott IMx automated benchtop immunochemistry analyzer system.
We describe a new clinical laboratory instrument, the IMx, used to automate immunoassay testing in the clinical laboratory. The IMx incorporates a novel technology called Microparticle capture Enzyme ImmunoAssay (MEIA) for assays of high-molecular-mass analytes, and fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) for hapten assays. A front-surface fluorometer is used to quantify the enzymatic gene...
