Reflotron desktop analyser

Manufactured by Roche

Sourced in United Kingdom

The Reflotron Desktop Analyser is a compact and automated clinical chemistry analyzer designed for in-vitro diagnostic testing. It provides rapid analysis of various analytes, including glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and more, from small sample volumes. The device is intended for use in clinical settings, such as laboratories and point-of-care facilities, to support healthcare professionals in making informed clinical decisions.

All participants were asked to fast and refrain from caffeine, alcohol, chocolate and carbonated drinks and to not exercise for 12 h prior to the date of the study. All blood samples were obtained by a qualified phlebotomist in the morning, between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Fasting plasma glucose, TG, total and HDL-C were measured using standard routine laboratory techniques using the Reflotron Desktop Analyser (Roche Diagnostics, Burges Hill, UK).

Blood samples were collected in standard EDTA Vacutainer^® tubes. Fasting lipid panel included the four basic parameters: total cholesterol (CHOL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) was assessed in all the participants using the Reflotron Desktop Analyser (Roche Diagnostics, UK). LDL-C values were calculated as per the Friedewald equation [33 (link)].

Bloods samples drawn from the ante‐cubital fossa vein on the morning of the appointment were collected into standard EDTA Vacutainer^® tubes and assessed immediately for fasting triglycerides (TG), plasma total cholesterol (CHOL) and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) using the Reflotron Desktop Analyser (Roche Diagnostics, UK). Low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) values were calculated as per the Friedewald equation^{24 (link)}.

Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Overweight Individuals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A qualified phlebotomist carried out the blood sampling, and all samples were obtained during the morning of the study, between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. Fasting plasma glucose, TG, total and HDL-C were measured using standard routine laboratory techniques using the Reflotron Desktop Analyser (Roche Diagnostics, UK). The TG/HDL cholesterol ratio13 (link) and Total/HDL cholesterol ratio alongside Framingham score as a means of cardiovascular risk were also determined from the above values14 (link).
Laboratory-validated protocols15 (link) for in-house ELISA-testing were adopted to carry out plasma sampling of von-Willebrand Factor (vWF) to investigate possible signs of endothelial damage in overweight individuals.

Ocular and Metabolic Biomarkers Assessment

IOP was measured using Goldman applanation tonometry. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were measured at baseline using an automatic BP monitor (UA-767, A&D Co. Ltd., Corby, UK) [30 (link)]. Ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) was then calculated as OPP = 2/3(2/3DBP + 1/3SBP)-IOP. Weight and height were recorded, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated as: BMI = weight (kg)/height 2 (m). EDTA blood samples were obtained from the antecubital fossa vein and were tested immediately for fasting triglycerides (TGs), and total and HDL cholesterol (Total-C; HDL-C), using a Reflotron Desktop Analyser (Roche Diagnostics, Welwyn Garden City, UK). LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) was subsequently calculated as (Total-C) − (HDL-C) − (TG/5) [31 (link),32 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
