Cholesterol is a sterol, a type of lipid that is essential for many bodily functions. It is found in all the cells of the body, and it is used to make cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids.
Cholesterol Test is a test we use to measure the concentration of cholesterol in the body.

Principle

Free cholesterol, including that originally present, is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase (CHOD) to cholest-4-en-3-one and H2O2. 3. In presence of peroxidase (POD), the formed hydrogen peroxide formed effects the oxidative coupling of phenol and 4- aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) to form a Pink – Red colored quinoneimine dye.

Equipments

1. 10 – 100 ul + 100 – 100 ul Automatic Pipette
2. Small glss tubes
3. cholesterol mono-reagent
4. yellow and blue tips
5. Colorimeter or Spectrophotometer

Sample Type

Serum or plasma is acceptable for the Test
But make sure the Patient is fasting to get accurate results

Procedure

1. in 3 clean dry tubes add reagents and sample as mentioned in the Table below

Blank (B)STandard (STD)Test (T)
W. Reagent1000 μl1000 μl1000 μl
Standard10 μl
Sample10 μl

Procedure

2. Mix Well and incubate for 10 mins at room Tempreature or 5 min @ 37c’
3. using the colorimeter or spectrophotometer read the absorbance against blank at filter wavelenght 540 nm
4. then do the calculations based on the following formula

Cholesterol = Absorbance of test / Absorbance of standard x Conc of standard
The STD Conc is 200 mg/dl or may vary depending on the reagent brand.
Normal Range
