Process for determination of glycosylated hemoglobin and reagent therefor

摘要

An improved process for determining glycosylated hemoglobin wherein the contribution of unstable glucose-aldimine-hemoglobin compounds to the HbA1 value is substantially eliminated by reacting the hemolysate with a primary amine and a hydrazine compound and thereafter subjecting the hemolysate to chromatography. The process enables reliable evaluation of the HbA1 value as a long-term parameter in diabetic metabolism control.
