Abstract:
1. A system for detecting glycated albumin in a sample and determining the percent glycated albumin comprising: a solid support comprising a lateral flow membrane; a single application pad containing a sample well disposed on said solid support, wherein said application pad comprises a porous material to retain red blood cells from said sample in said application pad; a first assay comprising a first test strip the measures glycated albumin in said sample wherein said first test strip comprises sequential bands wherein one of said bands is a first control band; a second assay comprising a second test strip that measures total albumin in the same sample as said first assay wherein said test strip comprises sequential bands wherein one of said bands is a second control band; and means for calculating percent glycated albumin, wherein said first test strip has disposed therein microparticles which specifically bind glycated albumin in said sample and said second test strip has disposed therein microparticles which specifically bind total albumin in said sample.
