    Abstract:
    A boronate affinity column method for the measurement of glycosylated hemoglobins was evaluated. In the procedure the glycosylated hemoglobins were bound by immobilized boronic acid to separate them from nonglycosylated hemoglobins. Elution of bound glycosylated hemoglobins was carried out with sorbitol buffer, and the absorbance was read at 414 nm. The method was linear to a glycosylated hemoglobin concentration of at least 20 percent. The precision of the method ranged from 1.2 to 2.8 percent (C.V.) within-run, and 3.4 to 5.3 percent day-to-day. The reference interval was 4.8 to 6.4 percent. The method correlated with a cation exchange resin mini-column method (r = 0.94) and a colorimetric method (r = 0.93) but results from the boronate affinity method were higher in diabetic patients. The measured glycosylated hemoglobin was significantly correlated with estimated one-day-mean plasma glucose in diabetic patients (r = 0.54, n = 52, p less than 0.002). The affinity method provides an attractive alternative to earlier methods for measuring glycosylated hemoglobins.
