Ck-MB Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) Chromatographic Immunoassay Qualitative Detection

Basic Info

Product Description

INTENDED USE

The CK-MB Rapid Test (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human CK-MB in whole blood, serum or plasma as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI).

INTRODUCTION

CK-MB is the isoenzyme of Creatine Kinase most involved in the metabolism of cardiac muscle tissue. The release of CK-MB into the blood following MI can be detected within 3-8 hours after the onset of symptoms. It peaks within 9 to 30 hours, and returns to baseline levels within 48 to 72 hours. CK-MB is one of the most important cardiac markers and is widely recognized as the traditional marker for the diagnosis of MI.

Do not freeze.TEST PROCEDURE1. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.2. Using the provided disposable pipette, transfer 3 drops of the specimen (approximately 75 µL) to each specimen well (S) of the device, then add one drop of buffer and start the timer.3. Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.INTERPRETATION

POSITIVE: Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One band appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the test region (T).

NEGATIVE: Only one colored band appears, in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T).

INVALID: Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specified read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
