This company’s Lipi+Plus Direct HDL and Direct LDL are the new homogeneous cholesterol assays, intended for the quantitative determination of HDL and LDL cholesterol in human serum. These direct methods require no pretreatment of samples, eliminating the need for centrifugation and disposables. Pre-packaged reagent is available for Dade Dimension AR, ES, XL, and RXL systems in containers that go directly on the analyzer without any pouring or manually transferring reagent.
     Lipi+Plus Direct HDL and Direct LDL are unaffected by high triglycerides and are not dependent on patient fasting. These new direct methods are convenient, easy to use, and have an excellent correlation with this company’s reference HDL and LDL methods, as well as other direct and precipitation methods.
