For the quantitative determination high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in human serum or plasma. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Principle:
The method is the direct determination of serum HDL cholesterol without pretreatment or centrifugation of the sample.
The method depends only on the properties of a detergent that dissolves HDL Cholesterol, whereby HDL-cholesterol is released to react with cholesterol esterase. Cholesterol oxidase and Chromogens are used to regulate the reaction. The intensity of the color formed is directly proportional to the HDL cholesterol concentration in the sample. Other non-HDL lipoproteins (LDL, VLDL and chylomicrons)
It is prevented from reacting with enzymes with detergents.
REAGENT PREPARATION
