MediLytic HDL Cholesterol 20 ml

MediLytic HDL Cholesterol 20 ml is a biochemistry reagent kit , intended for in-vitro laboratory use.

Specifically, it’s used for measuring the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in human serum or plasma.

The method is generally a “direct homogeneous” or “direct HDL-C” method — this means the assay reagents selectively react with HDL fractions so that non-HDL lipoproteins (like LDL, VLDL, chylomicrons) do not interfere.

The reagent kit typically comes in 2 reagents (often called R1 and R2). The first reagent inhibits reaction from non-HDL lipoproteins; the second reagent contains a detergent that solubilizes HDL, allowing the enzymes (cholesterol esterase + cholesterol oxidase) to act on HDL cholesterol, producing a color reaction. 

The formed colour intensity (after the enzymatic + chromogenic reaction) is measured spectrophotometrically — and is proportional to the HDL cholesterol concentration in the sample.

The assay works on serum or plasma (properly collected, usually after fasting) and is compatible with semi-automatic or fully automatic biochemistry analyzers. 

The “20 ml” refers to the volume of the reagent kit. According to MediLytic’s product listing, this is one of the pack sizes available for HDL-C reagent.

Storage conditions (as typical for such reagents) — refrigeration (usually 2–8 °C) is advised to maintain stability and performance.

This kit is meant for clinical laboratories / diagnostic labs / pathology labs that run lipid profile tests. It is not something to “take” — it’s used to test blood samples in lab analyzers.

The output of the test (HDL-C value) helps doctors assess a person’s lipid profile, cardiovascular risk, and guide treatment/lifestyle decisions. Low HDL-C or abnormal lipid profile may indicate risk of heart disease.
