Abstract:
A fructosamine assay using commercially available reagents on an IL Multistat III centrifugal analyser was evaluated. Within- and between-batch precision were less than 4% (CV). Results were similar using serum or oxalated plasma, but were 5% lower than those using sodium heparinate. We compared serum fructosamine and Hb A1c results in insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetics: serum fructosamine correlated with Hb A1c (r = 0.80) and gave at least as good a separation of patients from normal controls as did Hb A1c.
