Abstract

Immunoserisor for the determination of LDL(Low-Density Lipoprotein) was developed by using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) system. LDL is known to be a good indicator for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia. The immunosensor consists of four parts; detection cell, oscillating circuit, oscilloscope, and frequency counter, and this was interfaced with personal computer for signal processing. (omitted)
