More Details

I would like to know whether egg yolk can be used for such a kit. If this doesn’t work, can you suggest us another protocol, please?

Egg yolk cholesterol extraction protocol:

1. Prepare extraction buffer with 5 vol isopropanol, 2 vol water, 2 vol Triton X-100.

In a 1.5mL Eppendorf tube, mix 50µL yolk with 450 µL of the extraction buffer. Vortex for at least 30 sec.

3. Centrifuge 4 min at 14,000rpm on a table centrifuge.

4. Remove supernatant and perform cholesterol assay.

What is the principle of the ECCH-100 cholesterol assay?

Cholesterol esterase cleaves esters into cholesterol, which is oxidized to form NADH in the presence of cholesterol dehydrogenase. The produced NADH is measured colorimetrically.

Will the assay detect the cholesterol in the lipoproteins, or only free-cholesterol in the serum?

The assay will detect total serum cholesterol, i.e. protein-bound serum (VLDL/LDL/HDL) and free cholesterol.<
