Abstract: Objective

To evaluate the precision, accuracy, linearity and anti-interference ability of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the determination of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),and compare it with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Methods

Samples were collected according to each evaluation protocol. Samples were determined by SEBIA CAPILLARYSTM 2 Flex Piercing HbA1c analyzer (CE method), ARKRAY HA-8160 automatic HbA1c analyzer (HPLC) and IFCC reference method. Statistical analysis and linear regression analysis were performed by SPSS 19.0.

Results

The impression at common HbA1c levels (4.91%-9.67%) was <2%. The CE method and IFCC reference method showed good correlation (R2=0.993). The linearity was good (R2= 0.995) from HbA1c 5.0% to 17.6%. The results were not significantly influenced by carbamylated hemoglobin, labile HbA1c, bilirubin, chylomicron and so on (absolute bias ≤0.5%). SEBIA and HA-8160 showed good correlation (R2=0.993).

Conclusions

The precision, accuracy, linearity and anti-interference ability of SEBIA can meet the requirement of routine HbA1c determination in clinical laboratories.
