Siemens DCA Systems HbA1c Reagent Kit for Vantage & 2000 Analyzers

The Siemens DCA Systems Hemoglobin A1c Reagent Kit is for those who monitor diabetes in primary care, endocrinology, pharmacy clinics, and outreach programs. Used with the DCA 2000 and Vantage analyzers, the DCA Systems A1c cartridges let you run an HbA1c test during the same visit, so treatment decisions aren’t delayed. A tiny 1 µL whole-blood sample (fingerstick or venous) loads directly into the cartridge and produces results in about six minutes, helping clinicians check long-term glycemic control whenever patients come in. Results are NGSP-certified and traceable to IFCC reference methods, so you can trust the number and trend it over time.

Kits store refrigerated and go wherever your analyzer goes, including exam rooms, retail clinics, and mobile screening events, making this a practical, point-of-care HbA1c solution that reduces send-outs and improves follow-through.
