The same quick method used for LDL can also be used for Lp(a), with one extra short step, and it likely keeps Lp(a) from getting damaged by air too.

A Simple and Rapid Purification Procedure Minimizes Spontaneous Oxidative Modifications of Low Density Lipoprotein and Lipoprotein (a)

Computational/Algorithm Study

In Vitro

1997 Jun

Scientists found a faster way to clean Lp(a) using a special filter (wheat germ agglutinin) after a quick spinning process, and this new method keeps the Lp(a) from getting damaged by oxygen, unlike older methods.

Similar Assertions

This new quick way to clean LDL cholesterol from blood samples keeps it from getting damaged by air exposure better than the old, slower methods, which means scientists can study it more accurately.
