Triglyceride Assay Kit (TG)
For the in vitro quantitative determination of triglycerides in serum.
Triglycerides are a family of lipids absorbed from the diet and produced endogenously from carbohydrates. Measurement of triglycerides is important in the diagnosis and management of hyperlipidemias. These diseases can be genetic or secondary to other
Quinoneimine dye colored red is formed from 4- aminoantipyrine, 4-chloride phenol, and hydrogen peroxide. The absorption of the solution of this dye is proportional to the concentration of triglycerides in the sample.
