20120305395 | Device for the Determination of Glycated Hemoglobin - An electrochemical device for determining the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in a blood sample is provided. The device includes a cathode and anode and one or more cells. The device may include an enzyme capable of reducing oxygen to water for determining the total amount of hemoglobin in a sample by electrochemically measuring, in an oxygen electroreduction reaction at a cathode, the amount of oxygen in the sample. The device may also be used to determine the amount of glycated hemoglobin in the sample (e.g., spectrometrically or electrochemically). Also provided are devices that include glycated hemoglobin hydrolysis agents or glycated hemoglobin separating agents. | 12-06-2012 |
