Abstract
A simple and inexpensive colorimetric spectrometer for determining total cholesterol has been developed, comprising a diode laser as the light source, optical fibers for the light guide and a photodiode as the detector. In order to generate the color change, enzymatic reaction of cholesterol oxidase-peroxidase method was used. The stability and performance of the new system was investigated by obtaining the calibration curve for standard cholesterol solutions. The total cholesterol in human serum was also measured by the analyzer and compared with the value obtained by a conventional chemistry analyzer. The results showed that the developed spectrometer was useful for the determination of cholesterol levels.
