Troponin I Test Kit

Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) is a protein found in cardiac muscle with a
molecular weight of 22,500 Daltons. Together with Troponin T and
C, it forms a structural complex which the components are released
into the blood circulation after cardiac damage is broken
up.Troponin I is founded in skeletal muscles as well, but it differs in
its amino acid composition from cardiac Troponin I so that these two
Troponins can be immunologically distinguished. Troponin I is
released into blood stream soon after onset of acute cardiac
damage. When sensitive immunological methods are utilized, a
detectable level is reached approximately 4-6 hours after an acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). cTnI concentration in normal serum is
below 0.06 ngml. Levels as high as 100-300 ngml have been
measured with some AMI patients. Troponin I is a rapid
immunochromatographic test for the detection of cardiac Troponin I
in serum and Plasma samples. It can be used together with other
diagnostic methods to assess cardiac damage caused by a
myocardiac infarction.
