Cholestech Synopsis Descriptions
Publication Synopsis Reports |
Title: The Cholesterol That Counts Synopsis: Details why it is important to screen for HDL, and mentions the Cholestech LDX. |
Title: Evaluation of Seven Cholestech LDX Analyzers for Total Cholesterol Determinations Synopsis: Total cholesterol evaluation over seven different LDX instruments. Though it is only total cholesterol, this paper is still valuable to answer any objections about instrument to instrument variability. Some previous users of the Reflotron have seen higher than acceptable instrument to instrument variability and may have concerns about it. |
Title: Cholesterol, Round 2 - The Second Set of Guidelines Adds Recommendations - and Complexity Synopsis: A good review of the new NCEP guidelines written in laymans terms. Discusses HDL and why testing is necessary in detail. |
Title: Fingerstick Specimens Can be Equivalent to Venous for Cholesterol Measurement Synopsis: Details a study of fingerstick and venous samples on the Abell-Kendall method for TC, that shows that fingerstick samples do not show any bias, and are acceptable for use. |
Title: Performance of Second Generation Total and HDL Cholesterol Compact Measurement Systems Synopsis: Accuracy evaluation of Cholestech LDX (TC and HDL) and Accumeter (TC) only. Concludes that the LDX meets NCEP guidelines and there is no difference between capillary and venous blood. |
Title: Evaluation of the Cholestech LDX Lipid Analyzer for Cholesterol, Triglyceride and HDL Cholesterol (HDL-C) using whole blood. Synopsis: Evaluation of Lipid Profile as compared to the Hitachi 717 and Hitachi 747. Concludes that it performs accurate, precise and rapid lipid analyzes on whole blood. |
