| Description | For the quantitative determination of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human serum or plasma. For in vitro diagnostic use only. Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in blood, bile and brain tissue. It serves as a precursor to bile acids, steroids and vitamin D. The concentration of total cholesterol in serum has been associated with metabolic, infectious and coronary heart diseases. In the plasma, cholesterol is transported by three lipoproteins: high-density lipoprotein (HDL-Cholesterol), low density lipoprotein (LDL-Cholesterol), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-Cholesterol). The Direct HDL Cholesterol assay is a homogeneous method for directly measuring serum HDL-C levels without the need for any off-line pretreatment or centrifugation steps. The method is in a two-reagent format. The first reagent contains a-cyclodextrin and dextran sulfate to stabilize LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons. The second reagent contains PEG modified enzymes that selectively react with the cholesterol present in the HDL particles. Consequently, only the HDL cholesterol is subject to cholesterol measurement. |
