Process for making triglyceride controls, calibrators and standards comprising novel triglyceride substitutes

摘要

Materials and compositions for making triglyceride controls, calibrators and standards are described. The materials are mono- and di- and tri- glycerides of medium length fatty acids mixed into compositions of human serum or other protein solutions to form stable, miscible solutions suitable for use as controls, calibrators and standards in clinical chemistry for measurement and quality control in assays for triglycerides. The materials described have been used as vehicles for oil- soluble, water-insoluble pharmaceuticals and as facial emollient oils for cosmetics, and as such are safe, functional, stable, rancid- resistant and very inexpensive compared with pure materials synthesized or described previously.
