Lipid Profile GLU cassette measures total cholesterol (TC). Total cholesterol (TC) is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good cholesterol"), and triglycerides or TRG (fatty acids and glycerol that circulate in the blood and are stored as body fat), as well as glucose (GLU), a measure of blood sugar. Lipid ProfileGLU also calculates the TC/HDL ratio, non-HDL cholesterol, and estimates the level of LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol). For use with the Cholestech LDX System
Comprehensive Panel in One TestMeasure total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose efficiently with a single-use cassette. This integrated solution supports fast screening and ongoing patient monitoring in clinical and point-of-care settings, providing critical data for cardiac and diabetic risk evaluation.
Designed for Rapid, Reliable ResultsGet results in five minutes using the enzymatic colorimetric assay principle. The cassette features auto-level calibration via barcode, minimizing user error and ensuring traceability to reference methods for high accuracy. Silent operation and manual loading make it practical in diverse clinical environments.
Easy Storage and High UsabilityEach box contains 25 cassettes, which are compact, lightweight, and fit precisely in CHOLESTECH LDX analyzers. Store at room temperature (18C to 30C) away from direct sunlight for up to 15 months. Convenient handling streamlines workflow for healthcare professionals.
