The advantages of enzymatic analysis compared to conventional methods are shown by an example of a simplified, fully enzymatic cholesterol determination. They are: high analytical precision, reagents which are easy to handle, no inhibition be metabolites. The poor correlation between enzymatic and chemical analysis requires new normal values. The following are recommended for cholesterol: normal up to 200 mg/dl, requiring control 200-250 mg/dl and pathological over 250 mg/dl.
