A comparison is made of the accuracy, precision, and convenience of two manual serum triglyceride methodologies based on solid phase adsorption and liquid phase partition procedures. Both methods are accurate but the precision and convenience of the latter is far superior.
The use of home made reagents reduces the cost of both substantially below that of any commercial alternative, including the popular enzymatic methods.
