The present invention relates to a kit for quantitative analysis of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and the kit for quantitative analysis of HbA1c according to the present invention has excellent long-term stability of an enzyme reagent and thus has an effect of easily overcoming the disadvantages of the conventional reagents used in enzyme assays (e.g., storage, accuracy, portability, convenience of use, etc.).

Kit for hemoglobin A1C quantitative analysis

Disclosed is a hemolysis reagent composition for the quantitative analysis of glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) via an enzymatic method. The hemolysis reagent compositions of the present invention containing a zwitterionic surfactant and a nitrous compound considerably accelerate hemolysis rate due to the presence of the zwitterionic surfactant, and also induce the N-terminal &#x3b2;-chain of hemoglobin released by hemolysis to be exposed to the outside of the hemoglobin molecule and assists the participation of a greater number of molecules in the reaction, thereby improving reaction sensitivity and reaction rate of the glycated hemoglobin, and the nitrous compound makes the protein structure of the hemoglobin flexibly modified so that the amino acid sequence of the N-terminal &#x3b2;-chain of hemoglobin can be readily cut off, thereby significantly reducing the entire time required for the measurement and improving the accuracy of the measurement.

The present invention relates to a biochemical analysis cartridge having improved operability. More particularly, the present invention provides a biochemical analysis cartridge including an insertion-type sample cartridge and a reaction cartridge receiving the insertion-type sample cartridge, in which, as the sample cartridge is inserted into the reaction cartridge, a reaction solution chamber moves toward a broken part of a covertape so as to automatically supply the reaction solution stored in the chamber. The biochemical analysis cartridge having improved operability according to the present invention can induce the mixing between a sample and a reaction solution by simply inserting them into the reaction cartridge and a reaction thereafter, thereby minimizing the process of a measurer to intervene in the assay, and subsequently improving user convenience and operability.
