Drew ds 5 HBA1C analyzer
Recertified with 90 days warranty!
Includes Analyzer and Sample Dispenser
The DS5 instrument, dispenser and associated reagent kit are intended for the measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in blood samples. HbA1c is used to monitor diabetes. The system's small size and ease of use makes it ideal for main laboratory, clinic or satellite laboratory settings.
* Immediate labile fraction removal using the DS5 dispenser
* Simple to use with icon driven touch screen
* Detects presence of HbS or HbC
The DS5 uses cation exchange chromatography in conjunction with gradient elution to separate human haemoglobin subtypes and variants from haemolysed whole blood. The separated haemoglobin fractions are monitored by means of absorption of light and the chromatogram obtained is recorded and stored by the internal computer. A software program in the instrument performs the analysis of the chromatogram and generates a results report on the integral thermal printer.
Sample Preparation : 20 L whole blood
Throughput : Five minutes per sample
