Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
The Alere Afinion Lipid Panel is a diagnostic test designed for the quantitative determination of Total Cholesterol (Chol), High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), Triglycerides (Trig), non-HDL, and Chol/HDL ratio in whole blood, serum, and plasma. It is used in diagnosing and treating lipid disorders.

Key Features:
  • Measures Chol, LDL, HDL, Trig, non-HDL, and Chol/HDL.
  • Certified by the Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network (CRMLN).
  • Integrates Lipid Panel, HbA1c, and ACR tests on one platform.

Procedure:
  1. Utilizes a 15 μL sample volume.
  2. Provides results in 8 minutes.
  3. Offers configurable display of measuring units.
  4. Includes ready-to-use control material.

Additional Tests Available:
  • Alere Afinion ACR
  • Alere Afinion CRP
  • Alere Afinion HbA1c

Importance of Lipid Panel Measurement:
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommends measuring a Lipid Panel/Cholesterol Test every 5 years in healthy adults, more regularly if there are other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, in children and youths at increased CVD risk, and to evaluate the success of lipid-lowering treatment.

CVD and Diabetes:
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), most adult patients with diabetes should have a fasting lipid profile measured at least annually. In adults with low-risk lipid values, assessments may be repeated every 2 years.
