      "product_description": "Apolipoprotein B is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the quantitative determination of  apolipoprotein B in human serum or plasma. Antibodies to apolipoprotein B combine  with apolipoprotein B in the sample to form insoluble immune complexes. The  immune complexes cause an increase in light scattering (turbidity). The resulting  increase in sample turbidity, measured at 604 nm, is directly proportional to the  concentration of apolipoprotein B in the sample.",
