METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING LIPID PEROXIDATION IN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS AND SUSPENSIONS OF TISSUES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the lipid peroxidation extent in biological fluids and suspensions of tissues, in which a specifically prepared lipids containing sample is exposed to heat so as to induce thermochemiluminescence light which is emitted by the sample and is enhanced to an amount which can be detected by a special purpose photo detector. The measurement of the light allows to conclude about the content of peroxides and subsequently to obtain accurate assessment of lipid peroxidation.
