[Triglyceride determination with the Sumal system in routine operations]

A micromethod for determination of serum triglyceride concentrations using the Sumal-system and the sampler Sumal PVS 100 will be described. The results show that the qualitative, technical and economic parameters of the method (coefficient of variation 5%, 500 specimens per day and examiner, cost of reagents 0.50 M per test) correspond to the requirements of standard techniques and methods used in prevention trials. The method is suitable for use in routine clinical laboratory.
