Cholesterol assays in the Seralyzer instrument.
We evaluated the Seralyzer instrument for the assay of serum cholesterol and compared it to the Kodak Ektachem method. The Seralyzer showed good accuracy in the analysis of cholesterol in Abell-Kendall-verified serum pools, and the bias from the expected value was small in all cases but one. The Seralyzer exhibited CVs of less than 5% in all cases and good comparison with the Ektachem method. The Seralyzer is easy to use; however, some training in the proper pipetting technique is necessary. The Seralyzer meets medical needs criteria of total error greater than 5% from the true cholesterol value.
