Faster HbA1c Turnaround Times Using a Dedicated Analyzer Based on Turbidimetric Inhibition Immunoassay Technology.

Introduction: The Roche Cobas c513 (c513) is a dedicated stand-alone high throughput HbA1c analyzer. We evaluated the performance and the difference in turnaround times (TAT) of the c513 against our Cobas 8000 c502 (c502).

Methods: We assessed the linearity and precision of the c513, and its agreement (Deming regression and Bland-Altman analysis) with the c502 assay.
