Cholesterol/Cholesteryl Ester Quantitation Kit


Product overview
The Cholesterol/Cholesteryl Ester Quantitation Kit provides a simple method for sensitive quantification of cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, or both by either colorimetric or fluorometric methods. A large portion of the cholesterol in blood is in the form of cholesteryl esters. Cholesterol esterase hydrolizes cholesteryl ester into cholesterol. Cholesterol is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to yield H2O2. The produced H2O2 interacts with a sensitive cholesterol probe to produce resorufin, which can be detected by spectrophotometry at OD = 570 nm or fluorometry at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm. The assay can detect cholesterol itself (without adding cholesterol esterase) or total cholesterol (cholesterol + cholesteryl ester) by adding cholesterol esterase to the reaction, or cholesteryl ester itself by subtracting the value of cholesterol from the total value of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters.
