Product catalog summary

Introduction
The DS5 system is designed for the measurement of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in blood samples, which is crucial for monitoring diabetic patients. It provides a measure of the average blood glucose level over the past three months. The system is compact and user-friendly, suitable for various laboratory settings.

Specifications and Features
- Provides HbA1c results in just 5 minutes.
- Utilizes ion exchange chromatography for accurate separation of HbA1c from non-glycated hemoglobin.
- Capable of analyzing 1 to 15 samples simultaneously.
- Features an icon-driven touch screen for ease of use.
- Detects HbS and HbC to minimize interference.
- Certified by NGSP for DCCT compatible results and can be calibrated to NGSP or IFCC standards.

Instrument Options
The DS5 analyzer is typically paired with the DS5 Dispenser for efficient removal of the labile fraction, ensuring accurate HbA1c measurement. It automatically processes 20µL of blood with a pre-heated hemolyzer.

Data Handling
- Automatic sampling from a 15-position carousel.
- Results are printed with a chromatogram for quality verification and can be transmitted via RS232 port.
- Error codes assist in troubleshooting.

Performance and Compliance
- NGSP certified for accuracy and precision.
- CE marked and FDA 510k registered for compliance.

Quality Control
- Includes independently assayed HbA1c controls.
- Controls are lyophilized and stable for one week after reconstitution.

Introduction Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a very useful test in monitoring diabetic patients. It is a measure of the mean amount of blood glucose present in the patient over the previous 3 months and is therefore useful as a monitoring tool. In order to measure HbA1c it has to be separated from the non-glycated hemoglobin. The DS5 system is intended for the measurement of HbA1c in blood samples. The system’s small size and ease of use makes it ideal for main laboratory, clinic or satellite laboratory settings. It is an ideal step up from manual or point-of-care systems.
