Research abstract
Development of a novel non-antibody based method for measuring the concentration of glycated hemoglobin in blood is proposed. Utilizing only a single measurement, the proposed method will provide a standardized percent HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin A1c) result using a handheld instrument. The method requires only a one-step application of a fingerstick whole blood sample and takes less than 10 minutes. Preliminary data obtained with whole blood samples containing normal (4.3 - 7.0 percent) and high (> 7percent) HbA1c levels demonstrate the potential of the proposed method. All current point-of-care instruments for HbA1c require more than one step to operate. We believe our proposed method is eligible to receive a LIA waiver status due to its one-step operation. HbA1c measurement can provide diabetic patients and their healthcare providers an overview of their success in meeting long-term goals for controlling their blood glucose level.
