Performing clinical diagnostic analysis on hemoglobin concentration is a common blood test. These types of analyses are performed on a hemoglobin analyzer. Hemoglobin analyzers (also referred to as HbA1c Analyzer) can report the concentration of hemoglobin in a blood or urine sample in g/L, g/dL, or mol/L. HbA1c Analyzers can run tests with samples as small as 1uL in just a few minutes.
Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron that is found inside each red blood cell (RBC) that transports oxygen throughout the body. Other than oxygen, hemoglobin also binds to other gases such as, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitric oxide. There are different types of hemoglobins some of which are known to cause diseases such as sickle-cell anemia. Hemoglobin A is the most common variant.
