Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing: Analytical performance assessment according to CLSI protocols for HbA1c quantification
2017
HbA1c is used for monitoring diabetic balance. In this paper we report an assessment of the analytical performances of Capillarys 2 Flex Piercing (C2FP) for HbA1cmeasurement using CE (Capillary Electrophoresis). CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute) protocols are used for the evaluation of apparatus performances: precision, linearity, method comparison, truness and common interferences. HbA1c CVs average in intra-assay was 1.6% between run imprecision CV ranged from0.1 to 1.8%. The linearity was demonstrated between 4.7 and 15.0%. The comparison study revealed that Bland Altman plot mean difference was equal to -0.03 (CI 95% [−0.05 to −0.0003]) and Passing-Bablok regression intercept was -0.05, CI95%[−0.13 – −0.05]; slope: 1.00, CI95%[1.00–1.01]. A strong correlation (r > 0.99) was proved. No significant effects of hemoglobin variants were seen with CE on HbA1c measurement. No problem related to sample-to-sample carry over was noted. No interferences of LA1c and cHb were observed. CE allowed quantification of HbA1c even at low level of total hemoglobin (40g/L) in contrast to HPLC. Furthermore, this analyzer offered the opportunity of quantifying the HbA2 simultaneously with HbA1c. This evaluation showed that C2FP is a convenient system for the control of diabetes and the detection of hemoglobinopathies.
