Key Features & Benefits

Unrivaled HPLC Accuracy and Precision

• Gold Standard Ion-Exchange HPLC: Utilizes Tosoh's proprietary ion-exchange HPLC technology, universally recognized as the gold standard for HbA1c measurement. This ensures superior separation of stable HbA1c from other hemoglobin fractions, minimizing interference and maximizing accuracy.
• Direct Measurement: Provides direct measurement of stable HbA1c, eliminating estimation and improving reliability compared to immunoassays.
• High Reproducibility: Delivers exceptionally tight CVs (Coefficient of Variation) for consistent and reproducible results, crucial for monitoring patient progress over time.

High Throughput and Rapid Results

• Blazing Fast Analysis: Experience industry-leading sample processing speeds, delivering results rapidly to support timely clinical decisions and optimize laboratory turnaround times.
• Automated Sample Handling: Features continuous loading of primary tubes, walk-away capability, and integrated barcode reading for seamless operation and reduced manual intervention.
• STAT Sample Prioritization: A dedicated STAT port ensures urgent samples are processed immediately without interrupting routine runs, enhancing flexibility and patient care.
• High On-Board Capacity: Ample reagent and sample capacity allows for extended walk-away operation, reducing the need for frequent operator intervention.

Robust Interference Management

• Minimized Interference: Superior chromatographic separation effectively resolves common interferences such as labile HbA1c, carbamylated Hb, and the most common hemoglobin variants (e.g., HbS, HbC, HbE, HbD, HbF), providing accurate results across diverse patient populations.
• Variant Detection: Clearly identifies and separates common hemoglobin variants, offering valuable diagnostic information to clinicians and preventing misinterpretation of HbA1c results that can occur with less sophisticated methods.
• No Interference from Common Substances: Designed to be free from interference from elevated glucose, bilirubin, triglycerides, and other common substances found in patient samples.

Intuitive Operation and Minimal Maintenance

• User-Friendly Interface: A large, color touchscreen display with intuitive software simplifies operation, training, and result review, making it accessible for all levels of laboratory personnel.
• Walk-Away Automation: Minimal daily intervention required once loaded, freeing up valuable laboratory personnel for other critical tasks.
• Automated Maintenance: Features built-in automated cleaning cycles, self-diagnostics, and long-life columns, significantly reducing hands-on maintenance time and costs.
• On-Board Reagent Management: Intelligently monitors reagent levels and alerts users for timely replenishment, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Seamless LIS Integration and Data Management

• Bi-directional LIS Connectivity: Integrates effortlessly with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) via standard protocols (HL7, ASTM), enabling automated data transfer, reducing transcription errors, and improving data integrity.
• Comprehensive Data Storage: Stores a vast amount of patient data, chromatograms, and QC information for easy retrieval, auditing, and trend analysis.
• Advanced QC Features: Built-in quality control programs with Levey-Jennings charts aid in monitoring system performance, ensuring result reliability and compliance.

Adherence to Global Standards

• NGSP & IFCC Certified: Fully certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and traceable to the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) reference method, guaranteeing result standardization and comparability across laboratories worldwide.
• IVD Compliance: Designed and manufactured to meet stringent in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) regulations, ensuring safety and performance.

Space-Saving Footprint

• Optimized Design: Despite its advanced capabilities and high throughput, the HLC-723G8 boasts a compact footprint, allowing for efficient use of valuable laboratory space without compromising performance.
