With the help of the Element Multi analyzer, it is possible not only to monitor all the most important parameters of the lipidogram simultaneously, using one test strip, but also, if necessary, to conduct a study of one of them. Such a need, for example, may arise if only one of the points of the lipidogram does not correspond to the norm and monitoring of this indicator is important, which means that you can not spend money on the lipid panel as a whole.
Infopia offers test strips for the determination of total cholesterol in whole capillary blood.
Cholesterol is a natural fatty alcohol that is found in almost all living organisms as part of cell membranes. Approximately 75-80% of it is synthesized by the human body itself – mainly by the liver, as well as by the intestines, adrenal glands, kidneys, and sex glands. The remaining 20-25% comes to us with food. When there is a violation of fat metabolism in the human body, cholesterol in the blood becomes too much and its excess is deposited on the walls of the arteries in the form of cholesterol plaques. Their size gradually increases, this leads to a narrowing of the lumen of the damaged vessel.
When the lumen of the artery closes by about three quarters, a violation of the blood supply to an organ becomes clinically noticeable, which leads to significant violations of the function of various organs and systems. Most often, those organs that most need oxygen supply suffer from atherosclerotic lesions, since their activity is much more active – this is the brain, myocardium, kidneys, lower extremities.
With the help of Element Multi test strips, it is possible to determine the level of total cholesterol in a wide range - from 2.59 mmol/l to 10.36 mmol/ l, which fully satisfies both self-monitoring requests and the needs of medical laboratories.
It is necessary to use the Element Multi test strips during the expiration date indicated on the package, or within three months from the moment of opening the vial with test strips.
The Element Multi test strips for total cholesterol must be stored at a temperature of 2 - 30 ° C, avoid freezing and/or direct sunlight on them.
