Abstract
A method of separating a first class of lipoprotein in a sample from a second class of lipoprotein in the sample including: precipitating the second class of lipoprotein; contacting the sample with a magnetically responsive particle; and placing the sample in a magnetic field until the magnetically responsive particle has sedimented, thereby causing the precipitated second class of lipoproteins to sediment, leaving the first class of lipoproteins in the supernatant of the sample.
