چکیده

At present no method for glycohemoglobin (%HbA1c) is automated on a main-line analyzer to allow joint measurement with other indicators of diabetic control such as glucose and cholesterol. We describe an adaptation of a latex-enhanced competitive immunoassay for quantifying %HbA1c to the Dade International Dimension analyzer. After a manual hemolysis step, HbA1c and total hemoglobin (Hb) are determined separately. The concentration of glycated beta-subunit is obtained from the immunoassay, whereas Hb is assessed colorimetrically from a derivatized form. Both reactions were fully optimized for accuracy, precision, and specificity on the Dimension; stabilities of reagents and calibration were established; and potential interferences were assessed. The analyzer gave reliable results over the required clinical range of 1-15% HbA1c. Within-run and total assay variation were within 5% of the target CV limits, as determined by ANOVA with three representative sample pools across 20 days. Close agreement with an established HPLC procedure and a commercially available enzyme immunoassay was observed for 140 samples from clinically defined patient groups. Additional samples from patients with hemoglobinopathies (n = 20) demonstrated a more complex relationship between methods. We conclude that adaptation of the method for use with the Dimension analyzer is a valid method for quantifying %HbA1c.

Fully automated assay of glycohemoglobin with the Abbott IMx analyzer: novel approaches for separation and detection.

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....

Development and validation of an automated latex-enhanced immunoassay for prealbumin.

The measurement of circulating prealbumin has been shown to be clinically useful in the assessment of nutritional status, both as an initial screen and in the monitoring of nutritional recovery. We describe a fully automated, noncompetitive, homogeneous, light-scattering immunoassay that has been developed for this analyte on a Dimension (Dade) analyzer. A sheep anti-prealbumin IgG fraction was...

Advanced D-dimer (Dade Behring, Marburg, Germany) is a latex-enhanced turbidimetric test for the quantitative determination of D-dimers. To evaluate this assay, examine test performance on 2 instruments (BCS Analyzer and Sysmex CA-1500, Dade Behring), establish negative predictive value cutoffs (NPVCs), and compare the test with the qualitative SimpliRed test (Agen Biomedical, Brisbane, Austral...
