    Abstract

    Introduction The routine testing and monitoring includes the parameters such as FBS, PBBS, HbA1C. Currently the vaccutainers or collection tubes for FBS, PBBS, RBS contains Grey capped sodium Fluoride, which inhibits glycolysis there by preventing glucose from utilization on long standing, and HbA1C is being collected in EDTA containing vacutainer with purple cap. Very few studies have done a comparison of HbA1C values by High performance liquid chromatography method using the sample collected in fluoride Grey cap and EDTA purple cap vaccutainers. The Study aims to compare locally made vaccutainers for the analysis of HbA1C. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected in EDTA and Sodium fluoride vacutainers were analyzed in D10 HPLC auto analyzer.
