Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoprotei ns in a single step assay using a dry slide. The method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein comprises a first step of adding a sample onto a multi-layered dry slide wherein at least one of the layers contains phosphotungstic acid and another contains a high-density lipoprotein selective surfactant. The phosphotungstic acid precipitates non-high-density lipoproteins while the high-density lipoprotein selective surfactant only solubilizes high-density lipoproteins and does not solubilize non-HDL precipitated complexes. The cholesterol esterase then reacts with the solubilized HDL cholesterol esters to form cholesterol. Finally the cholesterol in the high-density lipoprotein is detected and quantified.
