Use of a cholesterol-rich bovine lipoprotein to enhance cholesterol concentrations in the preparation of serum control materials.

Abstract:

:We describe a process for preparing a cholesterol-rich lipoprotein extract from bovine serum. The material is used to enhance cholestrol concentration up to 3.5 g/liter in a clear control material from human serum. The optical clarity of the enriched serum is only slightly affected by lyophilization and reconstitution. The lipoprotein additive neither produces any evidnet interference in the measurement of the commonly analyzed consitutents nor affects the stability of components after lyophilization and reconstitution.

  • Effect of serum-clot contact time on clinical chemistry laboratory results.

    abstract::The effect of serum-clot contact time on laboratory results was studied by dividing each blood specimen into four blood collection tubes. The control sera were separated from the clot within 30 min of the collection. The other tubes were incubated at 32 degrees C, and the sera were separated at 3, 6, and 24 h. The ser...
