PTS Panels has its next generation Cardiochek cholesteral testers product in development. Other cholesteral testers in development include:

Silver CardioChek PA

The Silver CardioChek PA is a device which can be used to perform continuous monitoring of glucose levels , all cholesterol blood chemistries using blood.  The Cardiochek cholesteral testers requires finger pricking to produce whole blood samples.

Home cholesterol test kits are widely available. Many cholesterol test kits measure only total cholesterol. But a few like the Cardiochek analyzer also measure high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides — a type of fat found in the blood. Although home cholesterol testing seems fast and easy, it's important to regard the results with caution.

Even when cholesterol testing is done by trained professionals in a lab, your test results can vary. Home cholesterol test kits results may also vary, especially if you're not fasting when you take the test, or if you don't precisely follow the directions on the test packaging.

Remember, cholesterol management requires more than simply measuring total cholesterol. The Cardiochek cholesteral tester can help you to figure out how to best manage your cholesterol numbers. Start using the Cardiochek cholesteral tester to help decide how to maintain your heart's health.
