Roche HbA1c, lipid and CRP tests in detail
As the reagent carriers can be stored at a room temperature of 2 to 30 °C until the expiry date, there is no need to warm them up before use. The sample material can be applied directly, so capillaries, tubes or pipettes are not necessary. The analysis time is a maximum of 6 minutes (lipid profile and HbA1c), the CRP result is available after a maximum of 4 minutes.
