The Hb A1c CAPILLARY Calibrators are designed for the calibration and migration control of human glycated hemoglobin A1c quantification with SEBIA capillary electrophoresis procedures using the MINICAP Hb A1c kit with the MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING automated instrument.
The Hb A1c CAPILLARY Calibrators are designed for Professional Use Only.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
The Hb A1c CAPILLARY Controls are designed for the quality control of human glycated hemoglobin A1c quantification with SEBIA capillary electrophoresis procedures using the MINICAP Hb A1c kit with the MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING automated instrument.
The Hb A1c CAPILLARY Controls are designed for Professional Use Only.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
The MINICAP Hb A1c kit is designed for separation and quantification of the HbA1c glycated fraction of hemoglobin in human whole blood, by capillary electrophoresis in alkaline buffer with the MINICAP FLEX-PIERCING instrument. Measurement of hemoglobin A1c is effective in monitoring long-term glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Results are provided in IFCC (mmol/mol) and NGSP (%Hb A1c) units.
The MINICAP Hb A1c kit is designed for Professional Use Only.
For In Vitro Use.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
