1/10/2014 17 Hb - Vario : an automated HPLC system that is capable of measuring both HbA1c/ and A2 for the monitoring of diabetes. Diabetes continues to be one of the major challenges worldwide to the healthcare industry. The benefits of monitoring A1c values to better manage diabetes is well documented in numerous studies. The measurement control of A1c values is key to reducing co - morbidity complications within this population. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) testing is poised to emerge as a popular technology with outpatient clinics and other small hospital - based laboratories according to a Global Industry Analyst report. The same report also forecasts that the global market for Diabetes Diagnostics is estimated to reach US$26 billion by the year 2015 . Bio - Rad and Tosoh are the market leaders in this segment. Diabetes testing is a focus area of growth for ERBA.
