Details : CYC_II_L_I_RMP_04 - CDC reference method for HDL cholesterol in serum

Type (acronym)rmp
Typereference measurement procedure
Unique Nomination NumberCYC_II_L_I_RMP_04
Analyte NameHDL cholesterol
IUPAC IFCC NumberHDL cholesterol
Method capable of Traceability of Analyte to SI or Defined Procedureprocedurally-defined
Applicable Matricesfresh or frozen serum
NameCDC reference method for HDL cholesterol in serum
Organization that developed Validated MethodCDC, Atlanta, GA, USA
Measurement Techniques UsedUltracentrifugation removes VLDL, d < 1.006, preventing interference (TG) with the heparin/Mn2+ precipitation step for removal of non-HDL. HDL cholesterol is spectrophotometric.
Comments 1HDL cholesterol in heparin/Mn2+ supernatant measured by CDC Abell-Kendall cholesterol reference method which is calibrated with SRM 911b, high purity cholesterol
Comments 2This is a procedurally-defined method that uses SI units for cholesterol. Defined density , UC speed, temperatures, regularly verified.
