Cholestech LDX™: Instant, Reliable Lipid and Glucose Analysis to Support Cardiovascular and Metabolic Prevention
In today’s healthcare environment, where efficiency, speed, and accuracy are critical, the Cholestech LDX™ stands out as a preferred solution for rapid screening and ongoing management of cardiovascular and diabetes risk at the point of care. Designed by Abbott, a global leader in rapid diagnostics, this compact analyzer provides accurate, actionable, and immediate results for full lipid profiles, total cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. It is widely used in thousands of medical offices, hospitals, and wellness programs across the U.S. and globally, thanks to its clinical reliability and ease of use.
The Cholestech LDX™ enables healthcare professionals to assess a patient’s cardiovascular and metabolic risk in just 5 minutes using a simple capillary blood sample from a fingerstick. This minimally invasive method, requiring only 40 µL of blood, improves patient comfort and streamlines consultations. With built-in calibration and automated quality checks, the system greatly reduces the risk of user error and ensures analyzer integrity and result accuracy.
Compliant with the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) performance goals, the analyzer is certified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Lipid Standardization Program (LSP) and the Cholesterol Reference Method Laboratory Network (CRMLN). These certifications guarantee lab-quality accuracy at the point of care, facilitating immediate and informed clinical decisions. This enables providers to initiate or adjust therapy on the spot, optimizing the management of chronic conditions like diabetes and dyslipidemia.
The LDX™ user interface is designed for simple, three-step operation requiring minimal training. Just insert the test cassette, apply the sample, and initiate the test. Results are displayed on screen in minutes. Its compact size (21 cm x 12 cm) and lightweight design make it ideal for use in clinics, at home visits, or in mobile units, perfectly suited for preventive care or mass screening campaigns.
The Cholestech LDX™ Analyzer is an essential tool for healthcare professionals who aim to deliver fast, reliable, and cost-effective testing that improves patient compliance and streamlines care pathways. It’s not just a testing device—it’s a trusted clinical ally for cardiovascular and metabolic health management.
