HbA1C NY: and Wiley has been and proposed Sons, Inc: to replace earlier method. The methods have , been demonstrated 1986 to correlate (precisely) with one another but result in different reference values and limits. While the IFCC recommended procedure might be considered a higher method relative to the chromatographic method, C1RMP_P17 both are higher order to a manufacturer's method.
