For the quantitative determination of total cholesterol in human serum.
Number of Tests:
400 tests
8 x 50 mL bottles
Testing Procedure:
Manual
Reconstituted Stability:
60 days at 2‐8°C( in an amber bottle)
Wavelength:
520 nm
Linearity:
500 mg/dL
Expected Values:
Desirable: < 200 mg/dL
Borderline high: 200‐239 mg/dL
High: ≥240 mg/dL
It is strongly suggested that each laboratory establish its own range of expected values.
Reagent Deterioration:
The reagent should be discarded if: (1) Turbidity has occurred; (2) Moisture has
penetrated the vial and caking is observed; (3) The reagent fails to meet linearity claims
or fails to recover control values in the stated range.
