Abstract: Device for the automatic evaluation of a plurality of test sample components, in particular within the field of water and sewage water analysis, comprising at least one chemical sensor into which the test sample component(s) is/are placed, and comprising a measuring device to determine the measurable variables which are characteristic for the test sample component(s), characterized in that each sensor is provided with a coding region for information regarding the measurable variable to be determined, and in that a reading device, for the evaluation of the coding region, and a monitoring device, which is connected to the reading device and the measuring device, are provided, wherein the monitoring device adapts the measuring device to the measurable variable to be determined on the basis of the reading supplied by the reading device.

Abstract: A reagent and method for the quantitative of serum triglycerides which involves the alcoholic saponification of serum lipides using a low molecular weight chlorinated hydrocarbon as a catalyst. The saponified lipid is then mixed with an enzyme preparation for hydrolysis. After hydrolysis, the triglyceride is quantitatively analyzed in a conventional manner.
