A method and apparatus for biochemical screening of coronary risk in humans utilizing the steps of obtaining a blood specimen and treating the serum with a proportionate volume of a VLDL/LDL (very low density lipopropteins/low density lioproteins) precipitating reagent, preferably the precipitating agent being encapsulated. The treatment of the serum is accomplished by the use of a tube, preferably a small bore microcapillary tube, having the precipitating reagent affixed to the inside of the tube for reaction with the serum. After reaction, a VLDL/LDL precipitate column is formed and measured. The measured column is compared to a correlation chart of VLDL/LDL column heights to assay amounts of apolipoprotein B.
