The present disclosure relates to a method for determining cholesterol in low density lipoprotein comprising the steps of (a) measuring total cholesterol level in a sample containing at least high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein and chylomicron, and (b) measuring cholesterol levels in the high density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein and chylomicron in the sample, wherein the cholesterol level in the low density lipoprotein is determined by subtracting a value obtained in the step (b) from a value obtained in the step (a). The present invention enables concurrent determination of cholesterol level in low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol level, facilitating acquisition of two types of biological information at a time.

1. A device for analysis of a cholesterol level in a sample comprising a sample supply unit that comprises:a sample holder;a first reaction well and a second reaction well, wherein each reaction well contains an enzyme that reacts with cholesterol, and the second reaction well further contains a reagent selected from a low density lipoprotein (LDL) precipitating reagent, a low density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorbing reagent, and a reagent that prevents a low density lipoprotein (LDL) from reacting with the enzyme;two channels connecting the sample holder with each of the two reaction wells,wherein a position of both of the two channels connecting with the sample holder is at a same height in order that excess overflowing sample from the sample holder outpours into the two channels. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein each of said two reaction wells comprises a pair of electrodes. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein each of said channels has a form to permit overflow of a sample from the sample holder to each of said channels. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the low density lipoprotein (LDL) precipitating reagent is selected from the group consisting of an antibody against low density lipoprotein, heparin hydroxide, acylated heparin hydroxide, glucosaminoglycan sulfate, polysaccharide sulfate, lectin, polyanethole sulfonate/divalent cation, phosphotungstate/magnesium ion, and dextran sulfate/magnesium ion. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the low density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorbing reagent is an adsorbent that comprises a functional group selected from a carboxyl group, a silanol group, a phosphonic acid group, and a sulfonic acid group. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the reagent that prevents a low density lipoprotein (LDL) from reacting with the enzyme comprises N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline, a magnesium ion, a polyalkyl oxide derivative having an HLB value between 13 and 15, and a pH buffer.
