Product Description
Myoglobin is a low molecular weight, cytoplasmic serum protein. Due to its low molecular weight, myoglobin is released more rapidly when muscle cells are damaged than other markers. Serum concentration of myoglobin increases above the normal range as early as 1 hour after myocardial infarction, and peak in approximately 4 to 8 hours after onset. Therefore, myoglobin is better suited for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction(AMI).
Rapid Myoglobin Test Card is a sandwich immunoassay. When serum sample is added to sample pad, it moves through the conjugate pad and mobilizes gold anti-myoglobin conjugate that is coated on the conjugate pad. The mixture moves along the membrane by capillary action and reacts with anti-myoglobin antibody that is coated on the test region. If myoglobin is present at levels of 100 ng/ml or greater, the result is the formation of a colored band in the test region. If there is no myoglobin in the sample, the area will remain colorless. The sample continues to move to the control area and forms a pink to purple color, indicating the test is working and the result is valid.

Application
Rapid Myoglobin Test Card is an immunochromatography based one step in vitro test. It is designed for qualitative determination of myoglobin in human serum,plasma or whole blood specimens. The presence of myoglobin in serum or plasma specimens at level 100 ng/ml or higher can be detected in 15 minutes.

Other Information
LIMITATIONS
1. A number of conditions, other than myocardiac infarction, including polymyositis, dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, shock,severe renal failure, or muscle damage caused by trauma, ischemia and inflammation, can cause elevated levels of myoglobin. These conditions should be considered with appropriate clinical evidence.
2. Recent cardioversion or an anginal episode may increase myoglobin level.
3. Testing 12 hours or later after onset of myocardial infarction can produce misleading results, because serum levels may already have returned to normal range.
4. As with all diagnostic tests, a definitive clinical diagnosis should not be based on the result of a single test, but should only be made by the physician after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated.
