Total Cholesterol Test is a rapid test for the semi-quantitative determination of total cholesterol levels in whole blood collected from a fingertip. The test is intended for in vitro diagnostics and can be performed independently at home. It allows for a preliminary assessment of cholesterol levels and the identification of elevated values associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Measuring cholesterol levels is an important part of preventive healthcare and monitoring the body’s lipid metabolism. Elevated cholesterol levels may increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, and other cardiovascular conditions. Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels helps detect abnormalities sooner and take appropriate preventive measures or consult a doctor.

The high accuracy of this test ensures reliable results, which are available in just 2.5 minutes! The measurement range is 99–250 mg/dL (2.6–6.5 mmol/L).

This product is intended for self-testing.
