This paper reviews some of the recent developments in automated instrumentation which apply to the determination of chemically significant blood lipids such as cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids. Many complex lipid determinations can be performed on the continuous flow system of Skeggs following simple preliminary extraction. This system, commercially available as the AutoAnalyzer is composed of modules which are capable of extraction, digestion and hydrolysis. Analytical endpoints can be determined by colorimetry or fluorometry with automatic recording of results.
