The BioHermes BH60 Automated Glycohemoglobin Analyzer is a high-throughput, benchtop laboratory system engineered for the precise quantification of Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and Fetal Hemoglobin (HbF). Operating on the clinical "gold standard" of Ion-Exchange High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), this instrument provides reliable variant detection and accurate HbA1c monitoring for medium-to-large hospitals and diagnostic centers.
