Sample is reacted with a buffer and anti-Lp(a) coated latex. The formation of the antibody-antigen complex during the reaction results in an increase in turbidity, the extent of which is measured as the amount of light absorbed at 600 nm. By constructing a standard curve from the absorbance of the standards, Lp(a) concentration of sample can be determined.
