Method
Quantitative Enzymatic Colorimetric Method (Stanbio)
Principle
Cholesterol esterase hydrolyzes cholesterol esters into free cholesterol and fatty
acids
All free cholesterol in the sample is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase into cholest
4-ene-3-one and H2O2
A chromogen is produced when phenol is oxidatively coupled with 4
aminophenazone in the presence of peroxidase with H2O2
