  • LIPOPROTEIN SURFACTANT
    Publication number: 20100330596
    Abstract: Surfactants are provided which are particularly useful for carrying out cholesterol and triglyceride tests. These surfactants have particularly fast kinetics of response to cholesterol, cholesterol ester and triglyceride in all lipoprotein particles. Cholesterol or triglyceride sensors incorporating these surfactants therefore provide reliable measurements of the total cholesterol or triglyceride content of a sample in a short period of time. Also provided are a sensor comprising the subject surfactants for determining the amount of triglyceride and/or cholesterol in a sample, as well as methods for determining the amount of cholesterol and/or triglyceride in a sample, the method comprising: contacting the sample with a surfactant as defined above; and determining the amount of cholesterol and/or triglyceride present.

  • LIPOPROTEIN SENSOR
    Publication number: 20090148872
    Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a biosensor comprising a substrate containing a biochemical analyte, an enzyme system, a low molecular weight glycol ether and a detection means. The biochemical analyte is a low density lipoprotein. The enzyme system contains a cholesterol enzyme such as cholesterol esterase, cholesterol oxidase or cholesterol dehydrogenase.
