Intended Use:
Cardiac Troponin I Fast Test Kit applies colloidal gold immunochromatography to detect cardiac Troponin I(cTnI) in serum and plasma samples semi-quantitatively or quantitatively. This test is used as an aid in the diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction such as Acute Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina, Acute Myocarditis, and Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Principle of the Procedure:
The test kit contains two high specific and sensitive anti-human cardiac Troponin I monoclonal antibodies:one gold-labelled and coated on the polyester film, the other biotinylated and fixed on the test line of the product. The antibodies form sandwich complexes withany cTnI that is present in the blood sample. The sample passes through the detection zone, in which the cTnI sandwich complexes gather along a line, appearing as a purplish red streak (the test or signal line). Excess gold-labelled antibodies gather along the control line, signalling visually that the test is valid. The intensity of the test line increases in proportion to the cardiac Troponin I concentration.
Pipettes can be used for one specimen only in order to avoid cross-contamination.
2.The best testing temperature is 15~30 ℃, and thebest humidity is 40~60%.
3.Patient samples, used test card and transfer pipettes may be potentially infectious. Proper handling and disposal methods should be established by the laboratory direction in accordance with local regulations.
