Using CardioDetect™

CardioDetect™ is a qualitative immunochromatographic lateral flow test. It allows to define if the concentration of h-FABP (heart-type fatty acid-binding protein) in blood is elevated. 3-4 drops are applied to the test field on the card. Capillary (e.g. finger tip) or venous whole blood may be used for the testing. The blood wets the end of a test strip and moves to the other end of the strip by capillary action. Monoclonal antibodies are immobilized on a precisely defined position on the strip. When blood containing h-FABP passes this position the antibodies bind to the h-FABP molecules. If the concentration of h-FABP is above the detection threshold, a visible violet strip is produced (T = test line). The test result is positive (= AMI likely). Above the test line the control line (C) always has to appear. Without a visible control line, the test result is not valid. The test has to be repeated. In case only the control line appears, the test result is negative (= AMI not likely).
