Abstract: Objective To compare TOSOH HLC-723 G7(HLC-723 G7),Bio-Rad D-10(D-10) and Arkray ADAMSTMA1c HA-8160(HA-8160) automatic glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)analyzers with same principle ion-exchange high performance liquid chromatography for the measurement of HbA1c,and evaluate the difference among the results of the 3 automatic analyzers. Methods The 58 patients′ samples were measured for 13 d by the 3 automatic analyzers respectively,when the low-and high-level HbA1c quality control samples were qualified. The homogeneity of variance and the one-way analysis of variance were tested with the quality control samples and patients′ samples,and the results were used to investigate the differences among the 3 analyzers. The scatter plot and difference plot of the 3 analyzers were made to check the linearity and difference. The data were used for linear regression equation,and the relative difference between each 2 analyzers was evaluated. Results There was statistical significance among the results of the 3 analyzers for low-level quality control samples(P<0.05),and there was no statistical significance for high-level quality control samples(P>0.05). The relativities were good among the 3 analyzers for measuring patients′ samples(P>0.05). When HbA1c level fell in the range of 4.9%-11.4%,the linear equation of HA-8160 and D-10 was Y=0.963X + 0.179,r=0.988,r2=0.976,and the relative difference was -0.37%- 0.72%. The linear equation of HLC-723 G7 and D-10 was Y=0.968X+0.523,r=0.991,r2=0.982,and the relative difference was -0.1%- 0.8%. The linear equation of HLC-723 G7 and HA-8160 was Y= 0.987X + 0.480,r=0.984,r2=0.969,and the relative difference was -0.13%- 1.12 %. Conclusions At usual physiological and pathological ranges,there is no significant difference among the results measured by HLC-723 G7,D-10 and HA-8160 automatic analyzers.
