Troponin I immunochromatographic assay cassette rapid test whole blood serum or plasma qualitative DIAQUICK Dialab

Troponin I DIAQUICK Test Cassette immunochromatographic lateral flow assay for the qualitative detection of Troponin I in whole blood, serum or plasma, manufactured by Dialab.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a cardiac muscle protein with a molecular weight of 22,5 kDa. Together with cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and cardiac troponin C (cTnC), cTnI forms a troponin complex in the heart, which plays a pivotal role in the transmission of intracellular calcium signalling for actin-myosin interaction. In comparison to cTNT, cTnI has a higher specificity and sensitivity for AMI. Human cTnI has additional amino acid residues on its N-terminal end, which do not exist on the skeletal forms, thus making cTnI a specific marker for cardiac infarction. cTnI is released into the bloodstream after the onset of AMI. Its release pattern is similar to CK-MB (4-6 h after the onset of AMI).
However, the CK-MB level returns to normal after 36-48 hours, while the level of cTnI remains elevated for up to 6-10 days. The cTnI-level is very low in healthy people and cTnI cannot be detected in patients with skeletal muscle injury. Therefore, it is a specific marker for the diagnosis of AMI. cTnT levels may be falsely increased when the specimen is collected from renal failure patient.

The Troponin I DIAQUICK Test Cassette is a sandwich type immunochromatographic assay for qualitative detection of Troponin I in whole blood, serum or plasma. The minimum detection level is 1,0 ng/mL.

Each lateral flow cassette contains an integral control to confirm the test has run correctly.

Prepared sample is applied to the cassette and the result read 15min later. In the presence of Troponin I an indicator line will appear. If the control line does not appear the test is invalid.
