Why the AccuBase A1c Test is Different
The AccuBase A1c Test is validated to diagnostic accuracy between 3.6% - 19.6%, making it the only A1c test capable of monitoring A1c levels at all diagnostic levels. At-Home A1c tests that cannot perform within these ranges may provide false or misleading diagnostic test results. If the analytical method cannot read the result, how can it be accurate?
Diagnostic Accuracy You Can Trust
A1c Test Accuracy begins with the ability of the analytical method to detect A1c levels at a wide range of linear possibilities.
FDA/OTC Approved
The AccuBase A1c Test is validated (approved) by the FDA to be safe and accurate including the use in over the counter (OTC) applications. Our test kit can be purchased without a prescription in all U.S. States.
Hemoglobin Variant Screening
The only At-Home A1c test that screens for abnormal hemoglobins such as Hb S, C, D, E, and F using HPLC-IE. This is particularly important in ethnic populations where >30% carry silent variants that can disrupt A1c analysis.
Sample Stability
The AccuBase A1c test sample is stable for >30 days in transit. The analytical method is NGSP approved and monitored successfully by the College of American Pathologist (CAP) for over 25 years.
Clinical Trials Ready
The AccuBase A1c Test is ideal for clinical trials and outcome studies in universities and healthcare companies as a trusted marker of diagnostic and clinical outcomes with high level accuracy.
Monitor Change Over Time
Based on high level accuracy, the AccuBase A1c test can monitor the rate and direction of change in all comparative measurements over time. Critical for cases with very high A1c levels - if you cannot read a high A1c level, such as 16.0%, how do you know if therapy is successful?

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the AccuBase A1c Test different from other At-Home A1c Tests?
- The only FDA/OTC Approved At-home A1c test for adults and kids.
- Only At-Home A1c test that can detect and compensate abnormal hemoglobin samples.
- Smallest blood sample size (only 5 microliters).
- Sample stability lasts for over 30 days in transit.
- Completely HSA/FSA eligible with transparent flat pricing.
Why is the AccuBase A1c Test considered the most accurate?
DTI Laboratories has been using gold-standard HPLC-IE for over 23 years with outstanding College of American Pathologists (CAP) survey alignment. This clinical infrastructure detects and corrects for common genetic hemoglobin variants (like HbS, C, E, and D) that break accuracy on other home diagnostic devices.
Is this test simple and convenient?
Yes. The kit requires only 1 drop of blood rather than the 5 to 10 drops required by inferior testing arrays. You do not need to fast, can complete your sample at any time, and can ship it back inside any standard mailbox without degradation risk.
