Overview
The VARIANT II System requires no sample preparation and very little operator hands-on time. The sampling station accepts barcoded primary specimen tubes, reads the barcode, pulls samples from the closed tube, and dilutes and injects the specimen into the chromatographic station for analysis. Results are processed by Bio-Rad’s Clinical Data Management Software (CDM), which can interface with the laboratory information system (LIS) for real-time data transmission and superior data management.
The multi-analyte system is NGSP-certified and CE-marked to meet the European IVD Directive (EU) 2017/746. It is anchored to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) reference study and is traceable to the IFCC reference method for the measurement of HbA1c in human blood.
