Abstract

This paper reports an integrated ion chromatography microchip for the fast, low-cost and reproducible measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc). Except the pump, all chromatography components including four membrane microvalves, a packed column, two porous frits and an optical detector cell are integrated on the single chip. In the experiments, the HbA1c levels can be precisely measured with fewer samples (1 μl) in a shorter period of time (5 mins) compared to the state-of-the-art nanoflow liquid chromatography (LC) microchip (4 μl & 50 mins). The coefficient of variation (c.v.) for three consecutive measurements of HbA1c calibrators was from 3.1% to 9.0%, indicating that the measurement was reproducible and the chip can be used for point-of-care diabetes diagnosis.
