The Lipid Profile•ALT test is run using the same procedure as that for lipids and glucose with the following exception: There is a separate Cholestech control available for use with the Lipid Profile•ALT test cassette. You must use the Lipid Profile•ALT Control when running the Lipid Profile•ALT test.

Detailed information on how to run controls can be found on the Cholestech LDX Assay Sheet shipped with the product. Below is a brief summary of this information. Make certain that the lot number of the controls corresponds to the correct assay sheet when comparing expected results. Use the appropriate MiniPet™ Pipette and tips to dispense the control material onto the test cassette. Use a new tip for each control level Follow the direction for the test cassette procedure being used. See similar questions...

The ALT•AST test is run using the same procedure as that for lipids and glucose with the following exceptions: There is a separate Cholestech control available for use with the ALT•AST test cassette. Use the Multi-Analyte Controls, not the Lipid Controls, for ALT•AST. See similar questions...

Cholestech LDX test cassettes (except hs-CRP) do not require refrigeration when shipped to your customers. Shipments are stable when shipped over a three (3) day time frame without cold packs. Hs-CRP cassettes must be shipped with cold packs over a two (2) day frame. Refrigerate all cassettes upon arrival. All cassettes can be taken out of the refrigerator and stored at room temperature for thirty (30) days. See similar questions...

The LDX System requires no user calibration. The calibration information for running a test is encoded on the brown magnetic stripe on each cassette and is read each time a cassette is run. Since calibration differences between methods can play a role in the variation in results between methods, the NCEP established the Lipid Standardization Program (LSP) to look at improving the accuracy and precision of lipid methods. See similar questions...

Results outside these ranges will be reported as less than (<) the lower limit or greater than (>) the upper limit. If repeat testing gives the same < or > result the sample should be sent to a clinical lab for testing. See similar questions...

The expiration date for Cholestech LDX test cassettes is between 6 and 12 months from the date of manufacture, depending on the type of test cassette. We strive to provide the longest dating possible to our customers. See similar questions...

Answer: The kinetic characteristics of the enzymatic process for measuring aminotransferase are more temperature dependent than for measuring lipids. It it very likely that the ALT test cassette was not brought out straight from the fridge and not allowed to stand at room temperature for a full 10 minutes. See similar questions...

The VAP Test provides all the information found in a routine lipid panel, plus measurements of all known cholesterol subclasses that play important roles in the development of CAD. The additional information provided by the VAP Test improves the ability to predict heart disease risk to more than 90%. It also directly measures LDL cholesterol. In contrast, the routine cholesterol test detects only about 40% of people at risk. See similar questions...

The expected range for an Optics Check Cassette is listed on the cassette itself. Refer to your Optics Check Cassette for the specific standard range information. See similar questions...

The LDX System gives you the same level of accuracy and precision that you would get from a clinical lab. Results for total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides meet the total error guidelines set by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). See similar questions...

Answer: No. The Cholestech LDX Printer will work with LDX analysers from version 2.02. For earlier versions of ROM packs, an upgrade is available for purchase through Point of Care Services Ltd. See similar questions...

The NCEP ATP III guidelines offer new opportunities to improve the early detection and treatment of heart disease. ATP III focuses attention on the metabolic syndrome, as well as several emerging risk factors and secondary targets of therapy that are not measured with the routine lipid panel. The VAP Test allows clinicians to comply with ATP III at a cost comparable to the routine lipid panel. See similar questions...

Cholesterol and Triglyceride tests that measure the total amount of fatty substances in the blood. Lipoprotein analysis (lipid profile) measures blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides. See similar questions...

Answer: The normal measuring range for ALT on the LDX is 10-400 U/L. Results outside the range will appear as <10 U/L or >400 U/L. See similar questions...

The test can be used for screening and for dogs with symptoms. Senior dogs may benefit from screening. The frequency of testing for your dog will be determined by your veterinarian. See similar questions...

Assays for ALT and AST may be run at commercial clinical laboratories at different temperatures, typically 30°C or 37°C. The Cholestech LDX ALT•AST test is run at 37°C. See similar questions...

ALT stands for "alternating." ALT short bow instruments separate the up and down bow samples into two groups. MaestroTools gives the user keyswitches that enable choosing between automatically alternating up and down bows, forced down bows, or forced up bows. Alternating bow strokes can greatly increase the realism of a fast passage. See similar questions...

Twice each semester we will conduct a timed run test. See the Calendar of Events distributed at the beginning of the semester for exact dates. The tests will take place on the track in the Rec Center. You will be asked to run 1.5 miles (6.75 laps of the track) as quickly as possible. We will time and record your performance. You are not in competition with anyone and there is no penalty for not ‘doing well’ on this test. See similar questions...
