Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method and kit for the measurement of LPL. The method comprises the following steps; administering a dosage of an anti-coagulant to the subject, gathering the biological sample, adding the biological sample to a well of a well plate, adding a first buffer to the well plate, adding a second buffer to the well plate, adding a substrate to the well plate, incubating the well plate, measuring the fluorescence of the material within the well plate, and correlating the measured fluorescence to a level of LPL activity. The kit comprises the following elements; an anti-coagulant, a well plate, a first buffer, a second buffer, a substrate, and a correlator.
