Hb–Vario The latest system for diabetes management

Mahendra Paranjape, Sr Product Manager, Transasia Bio-Medicals speak about the advantages of Hb-Vario

Transasia Bio-Medicals, India’s leading in-vitro diagnostic company has been offering the highest quality diagnostic solutions for precise disease detection since more than thirty five years across various segments.

The newest addition to the Transasia family is our latest HbA1c & HbA2/F-Fully Automated Analyzer.

India has earned the dubious distinction of being the ‘Next Diabetes Capital of the world.’It is estimated that millions of diabetics in India are carrying the disorder and hence having complications of uncontrolled diabetes.

HbA1c is related directly to risks for diabetic complications and hence used routinely to monitor long-term glycemic control in people with diabetes mellitus.

Transasia’s newly introduced Hb-Vario comprises HPLC with unique CLE technology. The patented CLE technology enables complete elimination of labile glycohemoglobin thereby ensuring accurate HbA1c results. This product has been developed in Europe after years of research and HbA2 is in the final stages of development.

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is still considered as the ‘gold standard’ method for determination of HbA1c.

The key features of the instrument include:

• The analyser measures HbA1c in approximately 3.5 minutes.
• Sampling from multiple sizes primary tubes, including micro capillary collection tubes.
• Dual pump technology providing meticulous system control, resulting in exceptional accuracy and precision
• Unique CLE technology enables complete elimination of labile glycohemoglobin thereby ensuring accurate HbA1c results.
• Capable of giving true HbA1c values in presence of Hb S, Hb C, HbD, &Hb F
• No interference of Hb F up to 10 per cent
• CE, NGSP-certified and traceable to IFCC reference method.
• Large colour touch screen, in a compact footprint enables user friendly operation
• Automatic barcode identification of samples and RFID identification and tracking of reagents
• IFCC traceable calibrators and controls.
• On board quality control functions with Levey Jennings and statistical calculations.
• Unlimited storage of calibration, QC data and chromatograms.
