Intended Use
The One Step CK-MB Test 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).
Summary
Creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) is an enzyme present in the cardiac muscle with a molecular weight of 87.0 kDa. Creatine kinase is a dimeric molecule formed from two subunits designated as "M" and "B" which combine to form three different isoenzymes, CK-MM, CK-BB, and CK-MB. 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.
The One Step CK-MB Test is a simple test that utilizes a combination of CK-MB antibody coated particles and capture reagent to detect CK-MB in whole blood, serum or plasma. The minimum detection level is 5 ng/mL.
