  • Title: A rapid chemical means for removing labile glycohemoglobin.
    Author: Nathan DM, Avezzano ES, Palmer JL.
    Journal: Diabetes; 1981 Aug; 30(8):700-1. PubMed ID: 7250536.
    Abstract:
    We have devised a rapid and convenient method of eliminating the contribution of labile glycosylated hemoglobin in the hemoglobin A1 assay. The procedure requires a 30-min incubation of erythrocytes in 30 mM semicarbazide and 12 mM aniline (pH 5, 38 degrees C). This chemical means of eliminating the labile fraction is as effective as a 14-h incubation in isotonic saline as measured with high-pressure liquid chromatography or electrophoresis methods. The removal of the labile glycosylated hemoglobin fraction preserves the assay as a reliable index of chronic metabolic control.
