Abstract
This colorimetric assay for glycosylated hemoglobin can be performed in 120 min with equipment available in most clinical laboratories. The glucose moiety of glycosylated hemoglobin is converted to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by heating with oxalic acid for 60 min is an autoclave at 124 degrees C and 124 kPa (18 lb/in.2). The adduct formed by reacting 2-thiobarbituric acid with hydroxymethylfurfural is measured photometrically and results are expressed either as nanomoles of hydroxymethylfurfural or as fructose equivalents. Within-assay and between-assay coefficients of variation were less than 2% and less than 3%, respectively. Comparison of results for 50 patients' specimens as measured by the present assay and as analyzed for hemoglobin A1c by liquid chromatography showed excellent correlation (r = 0.98).Entities:
