The Triglycerides Test Strip（Dry Chemistry） work with the Analysis Meter to measure the Triglycerides (TG) concentration in whole blood, plasma and serum.

For professional use only.

MEASUREMENT RANGE

Triglycerides: 0.51-7.34 mmol/L (45-650 mg/dL)

Note:for triglycerides, 1mmol/L=88.6mg/dL.

Results below the ranges will show “Lo”, and results above the ranges will show “HI”.

PRINCIPLE

The Triglycerides Test Strip （ Dry Chemistry ） use a timed-endpoint method to measure the Triglycerides(TG) concentrations in whole blood,serum or plasma. The system monitors the change in absorbance at 620 nm at a fixed-time interval. The change in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of lipid in the specimen.

TG: Triglycerides in the specimen are hydrolyzed to glycerol and free fatty acids by the action of lipase. A sequence of three coupled enzymatic steps using glycerol kinase (GK), glycerophosphate oxidase (GPO), and peroxidase (POD) causes the oxidative coupling of 4-aminoantipyrine to form a blue dye.

Reference values are listed in the chart below:

Desirable: <1.7 mmol/L (150 mg/dL)

Borderline High: 1.7 -2.3 mmol/L (150-200mg/dL)

High: >2.3 mmol/L (200 mg/dL)

Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. Every laboratory should establish its own reference range as needed.

Blood lipid levels will have big physiological fluctuations depending on food consumed or exercise.
