Automatic glycated hemoglobin analyzer respons®A1c

for diabetescompactcapillary blood

Product overview
respons®A1c is a compact analyzer for rapid determination of HbA1c from capillary blood using boronate affinity chromatography. The system employs pre-calibrated unit-dose cartridges (reagent pack with integrated capillary and cassette) packaged in aluminium pouches for single-test, one-step operation.

Convenient testing

• Sample volume: 3.5 µL capillary blood collected via the reagent pack's integrated capillary.
• Workflow: insert pre-calibrated cassette into analyzer, collect capillary blood with reagent pack, insert pack and close lid.
• Time to result: 4 minutes 30 seconds.
• Unit-dose cartridge format (reagent pack + cassette) enables single-test handling and pre-calibrated measurement.
