      A new generation of compact, simple-to-operate analyzers facilitates on-site cholesterol screening. Some of these analyzers have demonstrated analytical performance meeting current guidelines for precision and accuracy. Attention to principles of laboratory quality assurance will be essential in order to provide reliable screening results.
