Contributing to team-based diabetes care and improvements in patient services
The significance of HbA1c for monitoring the glycemic status in the control of diabetes has increased with the continuing rise in the number of people with the disease.
From Tosoh, a world leader in HPLC technology, comes the latest model of glycohemoglobin analyzers: the Tosoh Automated Glycohemoglobin Analyzer HLC-723G8.
Providing fast HbA1c results, with CVs of less than 2%, the G8 is the perfect solution for improving diabetic patient care.
Fast
The time to first result is 3.5 minutes. Analysis time is only 1.6 minutes.
Feature Enhancements
A new calibration check function utilizes a pop-up window to display standard values during calibration. Features also include a flag check function with userselectable levels, buffer monitoring and an automatic prime function. Tosoh designed G8 functions from the user perspective, enhancing overall safety and convenience of operation.
Simple Operation
- Touch screen
- Direct primary tube sampling/cap-piercing
- Automatic start-up
- No sample pre-treatment
Gold Standard Technology
Ion-exchange HPLC is the gold standard for HbA1c measurement. Ionexchange HPLC was used in the DCCT* study undertaken in the United States.
*Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
Accurate and Precise
The G8 provides direct determination of stable HbA1c (SA1c) with less than 2% CVs. Through Tosoh's development of a non-porous ion exchange HPLC column, HbA1c results are not clinically affected by the presence of most hemoglobin variants or hemoglobin derivatives
Compact Benchtop Size
The instrument has a footprint of ~ 20 square inches and weighs only 75 lbs. The G8's compact size makes it an easy fit into any location.
Flexible
A variety of different sized tubes can be loaded continuously. The operator can also run primary and secondary tubes in the same rack. The G8 easily adapts to changing laboratory workloads by offering a choice of either a 90 sample loader or a 290 sample loader. With the optional LA model linked via a sample belt line, no workload is too large.
