HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN ASSAY DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

An assay device and method for measuring the concentration of HDL-associated cholesterol in a blood-fluid sample are described. The assay design is such that removal of non-HDL lipoproteins from a sample and assay of HDL cholesterol in the sample occur without interruption of the assay. The device also prevents interference by reagents used for the HDL assay with other assays carried out on the same sample.
