Abstract:
A method for assaying GHb in a biological fluid, if present, comprising the steps of:a. providing a solid support member, which member comprises a predetermined amount of a Hp,b. contacting said biological fluid with said support member, thereby forming a GHb/Hb-saturated support member,c. contacting said GHb/Hb-saturated support member with a Hb/Hp-specific probe under conditions that allow binding of said Hb/Hp-specific probe to its target, said target consisting of Hb,d. removing unbound Hb/Hp-specific probe, ande. determining the amount of said HblHp-specific probe bound to captured Hb, and calculating how much GHb is in said biological fluid, if present.
