EnzyChrom™ AF Cholesterol Assay Kit

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 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube, mix 50 µL 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 E2CH-100 cholesterol assay?

Cholesterol esterase cleaves esters into cholesterol, which is oxidized to form H₂O₂ in the presence of cholesterol oxidase. The produced H₂O₂ is measured with a specific dye Ampliflu in the presence of a peroxidase.

What substances are known to interfere with cholesterol assay?

Reducing agents such as ascorbic acid and bilirubin interfere with peroxidase-dependent cholesterol determinations.For more detailed product information and questions, please feel free to Contact Us. Or for more general information regarding our assays, please refer to our General Questions.
