The Abbott ARCHITECT HbA1c assay is a fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassay to help laboratories manage the increased demand and offer rapid results to physicians. With a simple blood test, the Abbott ARCHITECT HbA1c (IA) Assay provides a result to the physician in just 36 minutes. It also demonstrates a good correlation [how good?] to the gold standard (high performance liquid chromatography), which provides confidence in the accuracy and reproducibility of patient results.
