Olympus Diagnostic Systems Group Introduces HDL, LDL Cholesterol Direct Reagents


Melville, NY - Olympus Diagnostic Systems Group today announced market release of its new HDL and LDL Cholesterol Direct reagents, optimized for use on Olympus AU400TM, AU600TM, AU640TM, AU2700TM and AU5400TM chemistry-immuno analyzers.

The HDL and LDL Cholesterol reagents are compatible with fasting and non-fasting samples with no significant interference from Triglycerides up to 1000 mg/dL. For simplified sample processing, no pre-treatment is required and the direct measurement of serum or plasma specimens eliminates the extra time and costs associated with sample splitting. The reagents are ready-to-use liquid formulations available in two convenient kit sizes with Olympus bar-coded cartridges that allow on-board reagent management. Other features include 30-day on-board stability and 30-day calibration stability.

With the addition of the new HDL and LDL reagents, Olympus now offers clinical laboratories a complete cardiac risk assessment panel - including Total Cholesterol, HDL and LDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides and High Sensitivity CRP - from a single sample on a single analyzer.
