Frequently asked questions
Which quantitative tests does this analyzer perform?
The Afinion 2 Analyzer provides rapid, on-the-spot quantitative determinations for two essential diagnostic markers:
- HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin): Primarily used for monitoring and managing diabetes.
- ACR (Albumin/Creatinine Ratio): Essential for assessing kidney function, especially in patients with diabetes or hypertension.
This system enhances patient management by delivering accurate results quickly during consultation, supporting testing protocols using either whole blood or urine samples.
Which sample types are compatible with the Afinion 2 Analyzer?
The Afinion 2 Analyzer is designed to work with both whole blood and urine samples, providing flexibility for quantitative HbA1c and ACR testing.
