A comparison is made of the accuracy, precision, and convenience of two manual serum triglyceride methodologies based on solid phase adsorption and liquid phase partition procedures. Both methods are accurate but the precision and convenience of the latter is far superior. The use of home made reagents reduces the cost of both substantially below that of any commercial alternative, including the popular enzymatic methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
