Cardiac Troponin I(CTnI)/ Myoglobin(MYO) / Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme(CK-MB) Rapid Test

Myoglobin is a ferrous haemoglobin protein found in muscle tissue. Due to its small molecular weight, whenmuscle cells are damaged, myoglobin is rapidly released into the blood and begins to rise in the blood 2 to 4 hourslater.This is why myoglobin is used as one of the early markers of myocardial infarction.

Creatine kinase isoenzyme is a dimeric enzyme found in cardiac muscle tissue and is involved in the de novometabolism of muscle tissue. when the myocardium is injured, creatine kinase isoenzyme is released into theblood and begins to rise in the blood after 3 to 8 hours. creatine kinase isoenzyme is one of the important markersof myocardial infarction.

Troponin is composed of the troponin l, T and c subunits.when the myocardium is injured, the cardiac troponincomplex is released into the blood and begins to rise in the blood after 4 to 6 hours. The elevated troponinlremainsin the blood for a long time (6 to 10 days), thus providing a long detection period.

This product is used for the qualitative determination of human myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme and cardiactroponinlin human whole blood, serum or plasma as an aid to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI).

• Positive (+): four purplish red bands are present.Three are located in the test area (T1),(T2) and (T3) and one inthe quality control area (c).

• Positive (+): only three purplish red bands are present. Two are located within any two of the test zones (T1).(T2) and (T3) and the otheris located in the quality controlzone (C).

• Positive (+): only two purplish red bands are present.One in any of the test (T1),(T2) and (T3) zones and theother in the quality control zone (c).

• Negative (-): only one purplish red band is present in the quality controlarea(C).No purplish band is present inthe test area (T1),(T2) and (T3).

• lnvalid: No purple band in the quality control area 0, indicating incorrect handling or deterioration of the reagent.
