Lipid Saver™ : non-invasive, self-collected method for monitoring antioxidant micronutrients
About the webinar
Fatty acids in whole blood represent a diverse group of molecules essential for various biological functions, ranging from energy production to regulating cell structure and signaling pathways. Measuring these fatty acids is critically important as it offers valuable insights into an individual’s metabolic health, dietary intake, and potential risk factors for numerous diseases. Whole blood captures a dynamic balance of fatty acids from different sources, including diet, liver synthesis, and fat stores, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s lipid metabolism.
Ahlstrom’s Lipid Saver™ is an innovative specimen collection card that simplifies the collection, transportation, and long-term preservation of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from whole blood samples at ambient temperature.
During this webinar, Ahlstrom and Masdiag will present the use of Lipid Saver™ card for monitoring antioxidant micronutrients through quantification of retinol, α-tocopherol and CoQ10.
