Troponin I(cTnI) Test cassette

INTRODUCTION

Troponin I (cTnl) Test is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of the cTnl present in the whole blood, serum or plasma. The membrane is pre-coated with streptavidin on the test line region of the kit.

PRINCIPLE

During testing, the whole blood, serum or plasma specimen reacts with the particle coated with anti-cTnl antibodies and biotinylated anti-cTnl antibodies. The mixture migrates upward on the membranethrough chromatography by capillary action to react with the streptavidin present on the membrane and develop a red line. The presence of this red line in the test region indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. A red line will always appear in the control line region (C) it serves as a procedural control and indicates that proper volume of specimen has been added and the membrane wicking has occurred.
