A case of inter-assay HbA1c discrepancy due to Hemoglobin G-Copenhagen.

Background And Objective: A clinician was intrigued about HbA1c upper 9% (75 mmol/mol) in a 76 year-old women with normal glycemia. Further explorations were performed in order to understand this discordance.

Methods: First HbA1c test was performed on a HLC -723 G11 apparatus (Tosoh Bioscience) and thereafter compared to the HLC-723-G8 (Tosoh Bioscience), the Capillaris 3 Tera (Sebia) and the DCA Vantage point of care testing (POCT) (Siemens) apparatus.
