Abstract:
:We present an improved fructosamine assay for use with the Technicon RA-1000 analyzer. Features of this assay include: specimen throughput of 100 per hour, within-batch CV of 1.5%, between-batch CV of 2.4%, standard curve linear up to 24.9 mmol of fructosamine per liter, and good correlation (r = 0.82) with hemoglobin A1.
