Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) Rapid Test

Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) Rapid Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human cardiac Troponin I in whole blood, serum or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI).

Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature 15-30℃ prior to testing.

1.Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.

2.Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.

For Serum or Plasma specimen:

Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 2 drops of serum or plasma (approximately 50 μL) to the specimen well, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL), and start the timer. See illustration below.

For Venipuncture Whole Blood specimen:

Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of whole blood (approximately 75 μL) to the specimen well, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL), and start the timer. See illustration below.

For Fingerstick Whole Blood specimen:

To use a capillary tube: Fill the capillary tube and transfer approximately 75 μL of fingerstick whole blood specimen to the specimen well of test cassette, then add 1 drop of buffer (approximately 40 μL) and start the timer. See illustration below.

3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
