[A method of hemoglobin A-lc determination]

Abstract

It is reported on one for practice rational method for the determination of HbA1c. Methodical problems of its realization are pointed out. By the selection of suitable buffers short separating times can be achieved without any high expense of apparatuses. We have simplified the manufacture of haemolysates from venous blood to be separated chromatographically by the use of capillary blood. We did not find any significant differences between the values from venous and capillary blood. The valency of HbA1c for the purpose of estimation of the metabolic situation in diabetics during a longer period is explained with the help of literature, and the normal values in healthy test persons are represented.
