EZ HDL Cholesterol kitTrinity Biotech’s EZ HDL™ Cholesterol test is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in serum or plasma. Blood total cholesterol levels have long been known to be related to coronary heart disease (CHD). In recent years, in addition to total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has become an important tool used to assess an individual’s risk of developing CHD since a strong negative relationship between HDL-C concentration and the incidence of CHD was reported. Thus, there has been substantial interest in HDL-C measurements, and most clinical laboratories routinely perform HDL-C analysis. Selective chemical precipitation techniques are widely used for the determination of HDL-C such as heparin-manganese, dextran sulfate-magnesium, and phosphotungstate-magnesium. However, these techniques require physical separation via centrifugation, which is not suited to large scale lab use. The Trinity Biotech EZ HDL Cholesterol test eliminates the precipitation procedure by employing a specific antibody, and thus, can be applied on automated analyzers. |
