Q

ADVANTAGE in comparison to the Chemical Method

A

 Precise and accurate
 Lesser interferences - bilirubin,
ascorbic acid, Hb
 Smaller sample quantity
 Rapid; does not require preliminary extraction step
 Can be used to measure unesterified cholesterol by omitting de-
esterification step
 Mild reagents; better suited for
automated analyzers

Q

DISADVANTAGE

A

 They are not absolutely specific for cholesterol.
 Cholesterol oxidase reacts with other sterols e.g plant sterol
 Ascorbic acid and Bilirubin interfere by consuming H202
 Bilirubin interference can produce falsely high or low values
 Significant only at conc >5mg/dL decreasing Cholesterol values by 5 -
15%
