The Total Cholesterol Test Strip（Dry Chemistry）work with the Analysis Meter to measure the Total Cholesterol (TC) concentration in whole blood, plasma and serum. For professional use.

PRINCIPLE

The Total Cholesterol Test Strip（Dry Chemistry） use a timed-end point method to measure the Total Cholesterol(TC) 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.

TC: In the reaction, cholesterol esterase hydrolyzes cholesterol esters to free cholesterol and fatty acids. The free cholesterol is oxidized to cholesten-3-one and hydrogen peroxide by cholesterol oxidase. Peroxidase catalyzes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol to produce a colored quinoneimine product.

Reference values are listed in the chart below:

Total Cholesterol (TC) range:

Desirable: <5.2 mmol/L (200 mg/dL)

Borderline High: 5.2-6.2 mmol/L (200-240 mg/dL)

High: >6.2 mmol/L (240 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.
