Good read. This highlights the importance of variant detection in A1c testing, and the high quality of Capillarys resolution in separation technology.
Walking by the AACC Poster area I had the chance to meet and chat with Dr Erving T. Laryea (from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN), who has done an excellent work comparing HbA1c run on SEBIA Capillarys 3 with others HPLC platforms. His study, performed with Hemoglobin samples with and without variants has, demonstrated once again the high quality of HbA1c run on Capi 3, even compared to HPLC based technology and in accordance with NGSP recommendations. Thanks Dr Erving T. Laryea for performing this study and allowing me to share it with the community.
