Description

The Diabetes Test YRA399 is an advanced diagnostic tool optimized for measuring HbA1c levels in blood samples. Utilizing an innovative double antibody sandwich method, this kit combines an alkaline phosphatase-labeled antibody with a biotinylated HbA1c antibody, creating a precise “sandwich” structure. The inclusion of streptavidin-coated magnetic beads results in a highly accurate complex, with a luminescent substrate that emits photons proportional to the HbA1c concentration, ensuring reliable and consistent results.

Market Price

The Diabetes Test YRA399 is positioned in the mid-to-high price range among HbA1c testing kits, with prices varying from $150 to $300 per box, contingent on the volume purchased and provider agreements.
