1.1.4 Measurement Principle
The HA-8180V measures HbA1C in blood using reversed-phase cation exchange chromatography. Blood sample
diluted with the hemolysis washing solution is sent to the column, which fractionates the sample into several
hemoglobin components based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Each component eluted from the
column is measured by the dual-wavelength colorimeter, and the result is processed by a micro computer to obtain
peak identification and content.
