Laboratory Method for Lipoproteins:
Arrangement from fastest/most anodic (Electrophoresis)
HDL > LDL > VLDL > CM
Laboratory Method for Lipoproteins:
Test primarily used for Chylomicrons; Involves standing aliquot of plasma in Refrigerator for 4 deg celsius overnight
Standing Plasma Test
Laboratory Method for Lipoproteins:
Standing Plasma Test: The aliquot remains turbid even after standing overnight
