PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an analytical method for easily and accurately determining chylomicron (CM) since the determination of CM is a piece of important information for grasping clinical conditions of patients suffering from abnormality of lipid metabolism. SOLUTION: The agitation of a sample has been required for accurate CM determination prior to sample analysis since CM has a density slightly smaller than water and floats when left as it is, but strong agitation have caused the problem of the alteration of lipoproteins. By collecting a sample to be measured and agitating the sample to be measured by suction and discharge with a needle or a nozzle in such a way as not to cause the alteration of lipoproteins prior to analysis to uniformly mix CM, it is possible to accurately separate and determine CM. The linear speed of the suction and discharge is preferably equal to ≤6,000 cm/min. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
