Detection principle

Total Cholesterol (TC) includes free cholesterol (FC) and cholesteryl esters (CE). Cholesterol ester can be hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to produce cholesterol and free fatty acid. Cholesterol is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to produce △4-cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of the enzyme and probe, hydrogen peroxide can be catalyzed to produce the fluorescence substrate. The fluorescence intensity at the excitation wavelength of 535 nm and emission wavelength of 590 nm is proportional to the cholesterol concentration.

Both avasimibe treatment and SOAT1 knockout can reduce the TC level in GC cells. (P<0.001)

T Zhu et al investigate the effects of SOAT1 and Avasimibe in gastric cancer metastasis. Total cholesterol and cholesteryl ester (TC) levels in GC cell was determined using TC fluorometric assay kit (E-BC-F032).

Dilution of sample

It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (0.12-30 μmol/L).

The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):

Sample type

Dilution factor

Human serum

100-300

Rat serum

100-300

Mouse plasma

100-300

Rabbit serum

100-300

10% Rat liver tissue homogenate

50-150

10% Mouse kidney tissue homogenate

50-200

10% Rat brain tissue homogenate

200-400

10% Rat spleen tissue homogenate

50-200

Jukat cells

20-50

Note: The diluent is reagent 1.
