Evaluation of HbA1c, CRP and CBC measurement with Celltac Chemi and Celltac α
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2013, Vol 36, Issue 5
Abstract
With advances in automation technology, centralized testing has recently been performed in central clinical laboratories and laboratory test centers. On the other hand, many rapid testing devices have also been introduced to primary medical institutions, such as private medical offices and clinics. Regardless of the scale of analyzers, required performance has been increasing. In this study, we evaluated basic performance of Celltac chemi capable of measuring HbA1c and CRP in whole blood, and Celltac α capable of measuring CBC including leukocyte 3 part differential. Basic performance, such as reproducibility, carry-over, and detection limit, and correlation with large-scale analyzers were favorable. It was confirmed that Celltac chemi and Celltac α are useful for not only private medical offices and clinics as POCT devices but also medium-scale hospitals as back-up and night-time emergency testing devices.
