This includes patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, renal failure and also acute disorders like acute coronary syndromes and sepsis. Moreover, the device is an excellent tool for researchers in various fields.

The point-of-care measurement of AGEs offers great opportunities for multiple purposes. AGE Reader applications include:
