Athenese DX Direct LDL Cholesterol Biochemistry Test Kit

The TRUEchemie DLDL Cholesterol test kit for the direct quantitative determination of low density lipoprote in cholesterol (LDL-C) in human serum or plasma.

• Ready-to-use, stable liquid reagent of 3:1 ratio
• Detection range of 5 – 500 mg/dL
• Hemoglobin (? 400 mg/dL), bilirubin (? 20 mg/dL) and triglycerides (? 1500 mg/dL) do not interfere
• Packed with calibrator

PRINCIPLE  The Direct LDL Cholesterol Reagent has two-part, liquid stable method for directly measuring LDL-C levels in serum or plasma.  The method depends on the properties of a unique detergent which eliminates the need for any off-line pre-treatment or centrifugation steps.  This detergent (Reagent 1) solubilizes only the non-LDL lipoprotein particles.  The cholesterol released is consumed by cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase in a non-color forming reaction.  A second detergent (Reagent 2) solubilizes the remaining LDL particles and a chromogenic coupler allows for colour formation.  The enzyme reaction with LDL-C in the presence of the coupler produces colour that is proportional to the amount of LDL cholesterol present in the sample.
