CLINICAL MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS FOR ADVANCED MICROLABS TECHNOLOGY Since 2004, Advanced MicroLabs has completed the request cycle for eight NSF or NIH grants and received five awards. The successful grants are to develop and refine measurement techniques for: Glycated Hemoglobin
– a preferred blood chemistry marker for monitoring diabetes.
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C or A1C) is an
important measure of diabetic health and is more accurate than glucose
measurements to follow long-term regulation of the disease.
Creatinine – a kidney function marker that is effective in
diagnosing End Stage Renal Disease.
Homocysteine – a blood marker with growing acceptance as an
indicator of cardiac disease. Each of these research efforts individually developed the fundamental chemistry for the measurement and collectively contributed to the development of MicroChip manufacturability and instrument integration. These efforts are currently on hold since there is greater customer pull for contamination measurements in water.
