An ultramicro cholesterol technique based upon a new color reaction and requiring only 10 μl. of serum is proposed. The need for extraction with lipid solvent is eliminated by drying serum on filter paper segments and eluting directly in the ferrous sulfate color reagent. This method has been successfully applied to sera obtained from 200 blood donors.
Searcy et al. (1960) studied this question.
