Abstract We compared Boehringer Mannheim's enzymatic kit for the continuous-flow (AutoAnalyzer II) determination of serum cholesterol with Technicon's N-24a extraction method. Results for patients' samples analyzed by the enzymatic method were higher than those by the comparison method. To evaluate accuracy in the cholesterol determinations, we enrolled the enzymatic method into the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Lipid Standardization program. We calibrated the method by use of a pooled sera for which cholesterol content was assigned by CDC after analysis by their reference Abell-Kendall procedure. We discuss the difficulties with available calibration material and limitations in the application of some commercial control materials to the enzymatic cholesterol method. The continuous-flow variables, Michaelis-Menton constants, percent ester-hydrolase activity, and other factors affecting the performance of the enzyme-linked cholesterol method are evaluated. We believe pooled sera with an assigned value for cholesterol content is the best calibrator material.
