Intended Use
The FUJIFILM Wako’s L-Type HDL-C is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in serum.
Method
Immunoinhibition
Special Features:
-Excellent correlation with CDC reference method
-Direct method with no sample preparation
-Convenient, ready-to-use liquid type reagent
-No significant interference from serum components
-No metal ion precipitation step
High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), in addition to total blood cholesterol levels, are important tests used to assess an individual risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD), since a strong negative relationship between HDL-C concentration and the incidence of CHD exists. Thus, there has been substantial interest in HDL-C measurements, and most clinical laboratories routinely perform HDL-C analysis. HDL-C can be measured by methods such as ultracentrifugation, precipitation, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and more recently by direct methods.
The Wako L-Type HDL-C assay is a direct method consisting of convenient liquid type reagents and employs a specific antibody which allows this assay to be directly measured on automated analyzers. The L-Type HDL-C test is an in vitro assay for the quantitative determination of high density lipoprotein cholesterol in serum.
