“…A number of analytical methods are currently available to determine HbA1c level (see reference (Pundir and Chawla, 2014) for a review) including immunoassay (Stöllner et al, 2002;Tanaka and Matsunaga, 2001;Qu et al, 2009) ion-exchange chromatography (Eckerbom et al, 1994;Lafferty et al, 2002), boronate affinity chromatography (Li, et al, 2002), electrophoresis (Koval et al, 2011), quartz crystal microbalnce Skládal., 2005, 2006) surface plasmon resonance (Liu et al, 2008), colorometry (Frantzen, et al, 1997), Raman (Barman et al, 2012), and electrochemical methods (Liu et al, 2006;Park et al, 2008;Song and Yoon., 2009;Kim and Shim, 2013). Most of these methods employ chromatographic separations or recognition elements such as HbA1c antibody or boronic acid derivatives before the detection of HbA1c, and then the separated HbA1c is detected with various optical and electrochemical transduction methods.…”
