Cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI) is a cardiac muscle protein with a molecular weight of 22.5 kilodaltons. Together with troponin T (TnT) and troponin C (TnC), TnI forms a troponin complex in heart to play a fundamental role in the transmission of intracellular calcium signal actin-myosin interaction. The human cTnI has an additional amino acid residues on its N-terminal that are not exist on the skeletal forms thus making cTnI a specific marker for indicating cardiac infarction.
The cardiac Troponin-I Rapid Test is an immunochromatography based one step in vitro test. It is designed for qualitative determination of cardiac Troponin-I (cTnI) in human Whole Blood/Plasma/Serum specimens as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

Test procudure

Interpretation of Results
Positive (+) : If two colored bands are visible within 15 minutes, the test result is positive and valid. The test result can be read as soon as a distinct colored band appears in the test area. Note: Specimens containing very low levels of cTnI may develop two color bands over 15 minutes.
Negative (-): If test area has no color band and the control area displays a colored band, the result is negative and valid.
Invalid: The test result is invalid if a colored band does not form in the control region. The sample must be re-tested, using a new test device
