With a sample analysis time of just 2 minutes and results needing minimal interpretation, the Ultra2 provides rapid HbA1c analysis for your laboratory.

A capacity of up to 475 patient samples provides ample capacity to all medium & high throughput laboratories.
Together these combine to rapidly diagnose & monitor diabetic HbA1c levels, allowing the laboratory to meet any compliance targets and freeing up patient queues in busy clinic areas.

Free from common interferences

Boronate affinity chromatography is free from common interferences such as common haemoglobin variants, non-glycation modifications and storage-related hemichromes.  Boronate affinity chromatography requires no sample pretreatment to remove the labile component, since only stable (ketoamine-linked) GHb is retained by the boronate.

Compared to ion-exchange techniques, affinity separation is also less sensitive to quantitative errors caused by minor fluctuations in reagent pH and ionic strength.

The ultra²– A1c software is especially designed for GHb/HbA1c analysis, controls the four basic system operation functions of sample identification, instrument operation, calculation of results and printing (and storing) complete reports with the availability of reprinting batch summary reports and chromatograms from computer storage.
