    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate determination of serum triglyceride concentrations is crucial for cardiovascular disease risk assessment.
    • Existing methods may present limitations in terms of cost, throughput, or sample volume requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel micromethod for serum triglyceride determination.
    • To evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of this method for clinical and research applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Sumal-system and the Sumal PVS 100 sampler for triglyceride concentration analysis.
    • Assessed method performance based on qualitative, technical, and economic parameters.

    Main Results:

    • The micromethod demonstrated a coefficient of variation of 5%, indicating good precision.
    • The method allows for processing up to 500 specimens per day per examiner.
    • The cost of reagents is approximately 0.50 M per test, presenting an economic advantage.

    Conclusions:

    • The described micromethod meets the stringent requirements of standard techniques for prevention trials.
    • The method is validated as suitable for routine use in clinical laboratories.
    • This approach offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for triglyceride testing.
