Fully automated continous flow system for determination of serum triglycerides (author's transl)

This report describes a fully automated continuous flow system for deter mining serum triglycerides in which a rapid, complete and specific hydrolysis o triglycerides to glycerol and fatty acids replaces the extraction and saponification procedures. After dialysis, the enzymatic determination of glycerol with glycerol-NAD oxidoreductase, is followed through absorbance changes at 340 nm.
