This document provides instructions for using a reagent to quantify triglyceride levels in serum or plasma samples. The reagent uses an enzymatic method involving lipoprotein lipase, glycerol kinase, and glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase to produce a violet colored complex that can be measured at 546nm. The reagent is linear for triglyceride concentrations up to 1000mg/dL. Normal triglyceride ranges are provided as a guideline.

This reagent is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of triglycerides in Slope of reaction Increasing serum or plasma. Wavelength I 546 nm (540-560 nm) - GPO-TOPS methodology - Linear up to 1000 mg/dL Wavelength II 630 nm - Contains LCF (Lipaemic clearing factor) which minimizes rerun Temperature 370C CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Standard Concentration 200 mg/dL Triglycerides are simple lipids, formed in the liver by glycerol & fatty acids. They are Linearity 1000 mg/dL transported by VLDL, LDL & constitute about 95% of fat, stored as source of energy Blank Reagent in the tissue & plasma. Incubation time 5 min Increased levels are found in hyperlipidemias, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome & hypothyroidism. Increased levels are risk factor for arteriosclerotic coronary disease, Sample volume 10 μL peripheral vascular disease, acute pancreatitis & hyperlipoproteinaemia. Decreased Reagent volume 1000 μL levels are found in malnutrition & hyperthyroidism. Cuvette 1 cm light path PRINCIPLE LABORATORY PROCEDURE Enzymatic determination of triglyceride is based on following reactions: Blank Standard Sample LPL Working Reagent 1000 μL 1000 μL TGL+H2O ------ > Glycerol + Fatty acid 1000 μL GK Standard - 10 μL - Glycerol + ATP ------ > Glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP Sample - - 10 μL 0 Mg++ Mix and incubate for 5 minutes at 37 C. Measure the change in absorbance of GPO standard and sample against reagent blank. Glycerol-3-phospahte+O2 ------- > Dihydroxyacetone phosphate +H2O2 CALCULATION POD Absorbance of Sample 2H2O2+4-Aminoantipyrine+ TOPS ------- > Violet coloured complex Triglycerides Con. (mg/dL) = ------------------------------ x 200 GPO = Glycereol-3-phosphate Oxidase. Absorbance of Standard LPL = Lipoprotein Lipase BIBLIOGRAPHY GK = Glycerol Kinase 1.

LINEARITY This reagent is linear up to 1000 mg/dL. If the concentration is greater than linearity (1000 mg/dL), dilute the sample with normal saline and repeat the assay. Multiply the result with dilution factor. NORMAL RANGE It is recommended that each laboratory establish its own reference values. The following value may be used as guide line. Male : 60-165 mg/dL Female : 40-140 mg/dL THE REAGENT IS READY TO USE PRECAUTION To avoid contamination, use clean laboratory wares. Avoid direct exposure of working reagent to light.
