INTENDED USE The Triglycerides Test Strip(Dry Chemistry) work with the Dry Biochemical Analysis Meter (DBM-101) to measure the Triglycerides (TG) concentration in whole blood, plasma and serum. For professional use MEASUREMENT RANGE Test Type Measurement Range Triglycerides 0.51-7.34 mmol/L (45-650 mg/dL)
Note:for triglycerides, 1mmol/L=88.6mg/dL. Results below the ranges will show “Lo”, and results above the ranges will show “HI”. PRINCIPLE AND REFERRNCE VALUES The Triglycerides Test Strip(Dry Chemistry) use a timed-endpoint method to measure the Triglycerides(TG) concentrations in whole blood,serum or plasma. The system monitors the change in absorbance at 620 nm at a fixed-time interval. The change in absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of lipid in the specimen. TG: Triglycerides in the specimen are hydrolyzed to glycerol and free fatty acids by the action of lipase. A sequence of three coupled enzymatic steps using glycerol kinase (GK), glycerophosphate oxidase (GPO), and peroxidase (POD) causes the oxidative coupling of 4-aminoantipyrine to form a blue dye. Reference values are listed in the chart below: Tests Desirable Borderline High High Triglycerides (TG) <1.7mmol/L(150mg/dL) 1.7~2.3mmol/L(150~200mg/dL) >2.3mmol/L(200mg/dL)
Reference ranges may vary between laboratories. Every laboratory should establish its own reference range as needed. Blood lipid levels will have big physiological fluctuations depending on food consumed or exercise.
