6.0[5.0] PROCEDURE
6.1 Visual Check:
6.1.1 Reagent bottle color: Check R1, Standard reagent bottle color according to the pack
configuration file. It shall be,
R1: SN Brown plastic bottle with cap
Standard: SN clear glass vials with plastic caps & plugs.
6.1.2 Reagent color: Take 1 ml of Cholesterol reagent R1, standard 200 micro liter in a clear
glass test tube and examine under bright light for any turbidity or suspended particles.
R1: Should be clear transparent colorless solution generates foam on shaking.
Standard: Should be clear colorless solution generates foam on shaking.
6.2 Testing procedure: Before performing the test, bring the reagents R1 and Standard at
room temperature. Testing is to be done with biochemistry analyzer (sop).
6.3.2 Assay Procedure: Carry out the testing as per below table.
6.3.2.1 Table:
Reagent Blank Standard Control/Sample
Reagent R1 1ml 1ml 1ml
Standard NA 10 µl NA
Control/ Sample NA NA 10 µl
6.3.2.2 Mix and aspirate the blank reagent after 5 min incubation at 37 ˚C observe the
starting absorbance of the reagent, Starting Absorbance of the reagent blank should not
exceed 0.050 OD. There should not be any significant increase in the absorbance of the
reagent. Final Absorbance after the completion of the test should not be more than 0.050
OD.
6.3.2.3 Mix and aspirate the standard, sample /Control after 5 min incubation at 37 ˚C test,
the result of the standard, sample /Control obtained after the completion of the test should
fall within the acceptable limit of the standard (199-201), Control values printed in the
Value sheet of control being used e.g. (Randox 2, Randox 3, Biorad 1, Biorad 2 etc….).
Note: Mix next sample after first sample result out within 120 seconds.
