Is this the product you have?
- The LDL-Cholesterol assay is comprised of two distinct phases. In phase one a unique detergent solubilizes cholesterol from non-LDL- lipoprotein particles. This cholesterol is consumed by cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase, peroxidase and 4- aminoantipyrine to generate a colorless end product. In phase two a second detergent in reagent 2 releases cholesterol from the LDL lipoproteins. This cholesterol reacts with cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase and a chromogen system to yield a blue color complex which can be measured bichromatically at 540/660nm. The resulting increase in absorbance is directly proportional to the LDL-C concentration in the sample.
