Recombigen Cholesterol Direct(EP) LDL Liquid Reagents - 20ml (BC-505771-020)

The Recombigen Cholesterol Direct (EP), LDL assay is a two-reagent system designed for the direct determination of LDL cholesterol in serum or plasma samples. This assay utilizes the direct enzymatic chlorimetric method, which allows for the quantification of LDL cholesterol without the need for preparatory steps like precipitation, providing a simpler and more efficient approach to lipid profiling.

The method involves the enzymatic hydrolysis of cholesterol esters in the sample, followed by the reaction of cholesterol with specific reagents that produce a colorimetric change. The intensity of the color formed is proportional to the concentration of LDL cholesterol in the sample, and it is measured spectrophotometrically.
