The Piccolo Triglycerides - Capillary Test System used with the Piccolo xpress Chemistry Analyzer is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of triglycerides in capillary (fingerstick) heparinized whole blood in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location. Triglyceride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, and other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.

The Piccolo® Lipid Panel - Capillary Reagent Disc (which contains the Piccolo® Triglycerides - Capillary Test System) is designed to separate a heparinized whole blood sample into plasma and blood cells. The disc meters the required quantity of plasma and diluent, mixes the plasma with diluent, and delivers the mixture to the reaction cuvettes along the disc perimeter. The diluted plasma mixes with the reagent beads, initiating the chemical reactions that are then monitored by the analyzer.

The Piccolo Triglycerides Test System used with the Piccolo Point-of-Care Chemistry Analyzer is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of triglycerides in heparinized whole blood, heparinized plasma, or serum in a clinical laboratory setting or point-of-care location. Triglyceride measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction, and other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.

The Piccolo® Lipid Panel Reagent Disc (which contains the Piccolo® Triglycerides Test System) is designed to separate a heparinized whole blood sample into plasma and blood cells. The disc meters the required quantity of plasma and diluent, mixes the plasma with diluent, and delivers the mixture to the reaction cuvettes along the disc perimeter. The diluted plasma mixes with the reagent beads, initiating the chemical reactions that are then monitored by the analvzer. Alternately, the disc mav also be used with serum.

The BioScanner Triglycerides test strips are intended to measure triglyceride in whole blood as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus, nephrosis, liver obstruction and other diseases involving lipid metabolism, or various endocrine disorders.

Triglycerides are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to glycerol and fatty acid. Glycerol is phosphorylated by glycerol kinase in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) forming glycerol-3-phosphate and adenosine-5-diphosphate (ADP). The glycerol-3phosphate is oxidized by glycerophosphate oxidase to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of peroxide, peroxidase catalyzes the coupling of 4-AAP (4-aminoantipyrine) with an N,N-disubstituted aniline to form a quinoneimine dye.
