DiaSys Lipid Clearing System
Lipemic samples are cause of analytical errors and present challenges for laboratories. 10% of all serum or plasma samples are lipemic, turbidity gets visual at a triglyceride concentration > 300 mg/dL.
Lipid induced interferences can originate naturally in patient samples as a result of health-related factors e.g. nutrition, obesity, dietary, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, alcohol abuse, liver disease and pancreatitis. Furthermore, lipemia can originate as well from lipid emulsions used for nutritional need in critically ill patients such as newborns and surgical patients.
Sample turbidity from lipemia significantly affects photometric assays due to increased light scatter and absorption of the light by lipids (mainly chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins). No blanking method can overcome all the interferences caused by lipemia.
Unlike other interferences, lipemia can be removed and measurement can be done in a clear sample. DiaSys has developed a “Lipid Clearing System (LCS)” which clears turbidity in the sample in a first reaction step before measurement is performed. The Lipid Clearing System increases freedom of interference tremendously, in many cases up to a trigylceride concentration of 2000 mg/dL.
