Description

The ABX PENTRA Cholesterol CP ref. A11A01634 is an in vitro diagnostic assay for quantitative determination of cholesterol in human serum and plasma based on an enzymatic photometric test (Trinders reaction). The assay is composed of a 99 ml mono-reagent cassette. Reagent is a chemical solution with additives.

Reason

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) present in the blood of patients treated for paracetamol overdose can interfere with the Trinder reaction that uses hydrogen peroxide catalytic on aminoantipyrine and phenol, and can produce falsely low results with the reagents using the Trinder reaction method.
