Cardiac biomarkers are used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes and are frequently ordered by doctors when a patient complains of chest pain, pressure, nausea, and shortness of breath
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins and hormones that are associated with heart function, damage or failure.
Some of the tests are specific for the heart while others are also elevated with skeletal muscle damage.
Cardiac biomarkers are used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes and are frequently ordered by doctors when someone comes into A and E complaining of symptoms, such as chest pain, pressure, nausea, and shortness of breath.
The Evidence Investigator is a compact bench-top Biochip Array Technology analyser for the simultaneous analysis of a panel of tests in a single sample.
The cardiac array of tests are presented on a single biochip.
All six tests are performed simultaneously using just one assay diluent, one panel-specific conjugate solution and one signal reagent.
Cardiac array test menu.
Troponin I Myglobin CK-MB carbonic anhydrase III (CA III).
Glycogen Phosphorylase BB (GPBB).
Fatty acid binding protein (FABP).
The cardiac biochip measures six cardiac biomarkers from one patient sample revealing a great deal more information than a single test, this is the power of biochip array technology.
