Troponin I Test
The Troponin I Test is a qualitative, membrane based immunoassay for the detection of cTnl in whole blood, serum or plasma. The membrane is pre-coated with capture reagent on the test line region of the test. During testing the Troponin I in the whole blood, serum or plasma specimen reacts with two specific anti-cTnl antibodies. One of the antibodies mediates binding to Troponin the capture reagent, the other antibody is color labelled. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane by capillary action. In the test line region the cTnI-antibody complex is captured by the immobilised capture reagent so that a red line is generated. The presence of a red line in the test line region indicates a positive result. If the sampled does not contain cTnI no line will form in the test result line region indicating a negative result. In addition a red line must form in the control line region (C) independent of the cTnI concentration in the sample. The control line serves as a procedural control and indicates that sufficient volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
