5.18 Checking chromatogram Range: 45 ~ 65 S Range: 50K ~ 300K
Recommended: 50 ~ 55 S Recommended: 80K ~ 140K
Check chromatogram after
repeatability test:
1. Check HbA1c Peak: Sharpness,
thorough elution, distribution,
correct retention.
2. Total Area: Check the total
area whether it is within
normal range.
3. Check Retention Time of
HbA1c: Check the peak time
whether it is acceptable.
en.lifotronic.com
Product installation
If RT is out of range, it is suggested
to adjust column temperature.
Column Temp ↑ = RT ↓
Column Temp ↓ = RT ↑
Flow Rate ↑ = RT ↓
Flow Rate ↓ = RT ↑
+℃ RT -℃
4. Check Baseline Drift
The end of the chromatogram line
Base Line
should be on the same level as the
start. There should be no sharp
falling edge near to ending.
en.lifotronic.com
Product installation
5. Check for Variants
If another peak exists after the HbA0 peak, this might suggest that there is a variant hemoglobin in patient’s
sample. This won’t be included in total area calculation, and it won’t affect HbA1c result usually.
en.lifotronic.com

6. Interpretation for remarks
Interpretation of HbA1c Result with Asterisk and Red Color:
e0 : Abnormal peak time of A0;
e1 : Total area < 50000 ;
e2 : Total area > 300000 ;
e3 : HbA1c > 15% ;
e4 : HbA1c < 4% ;
e5 : Variant existence;
e6 : ADC415 reach maximum limit;
e7 : A0 concentration less than 80% ;
e8 : HbA1c retention time is out of range.

P3 Peak
The P3 peak may be the result of degenerated
hemoglobin.
When this occurs, an "Unknown" peak will be
present between HbA1c and HbA0.
The presence of this "Unknown" peak has no
considerate effect on the HbA1c quantitation.
Usually if a sample gets stale, P3 will increase.
Acceptable range:
-2SD ~ +2SD

5.19.3 Preparing Calibrators and QCs
1. Take out the calibrators and QCs from the 2-8 ℃ storage environment, prepare an appropriate amount of
distilled water or deionized water, wait for the temperature of bottles to reach room temperature.
2. For each item, tap the bottle cap to ensure that all the lyophilized samples are scattered at the bottom of
the bottle. Unscrew the cap carefully, aspirate 100ul of distilled water or deionized water, inject it slowly into
the bottle, close the cap, and flip the bottle carefully. Leave it in the dark for about 5 minutes, then flip it
again, wait for another 5 minutes for full dissolution;
3. Aspirate 1500uL of hemolytic agent and inject it into the EP tube and mark it corresponding to the item to
be used.
4. Add 20uL of reconstituted item, close the cap and mix gently. The item is ready for use.
Suggestion: You should divide the remaining items to EP tubes as 20uL, mark them, and keep them in -20 ℃
for future use up to 2 weeks.
