ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a reagent for digestion of hemoglobin comprising a buffer, pepsin and a1,3-dialkyl-imidazolium salt. It also discloses to the use of this reagent in a method for digesting hemoglobin, in a method for detecting HbA1c, and to a sampling tube for collection of a whole blood sample comprising said reagent for digesting hemoglobin.
