RAPID MYOGLOBIN TEST CARD

FOR THE QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF HUMAN MYOGLOBIN IN
HUMAN SERUM AND PLASMA

Catalog Number: 75005

For in vitro Diagnostic Use

INTENDED USE
Rapid Myoglobin test is an immunochromatography based one step in vitro test. It is designed for qualitative determination of myoglobin in human serum specimens. The presence of myoglobin in serum or plasma specimens at level 100 ng/ml or higher can be detected in 10 minutes.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
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
