Myoglobin rapid test kits in strip and cassette formats, alone or in combined cardiac marker panels, for emergency departments, clinics, hospital laboratories and IVD distributors.

Product Description:

Myoglobin rapid tests detect myoglobin, the oxygen-binding protein of heart and skeletal muscle, in whole blood, serum or plasma. A lateral flow immunoassay gives a qualitative result above a set cut-off. Myoglobin enters the blood within a few hours of muscle injury, earlier than troponin, and is cleared quickly by the kidneys. Kits are sold as single-marker strips or cassettes and as combined cardiac panels with troponin I and CK-MB lines on one device.

Its early rise once made myoglobin popular in chest pain assessment, but it is not specific to the heart: skeletal muscle injury, hard exercise, intramuscular injections, trauma and kidney impairment all raise it. Current chest pain pathways rely on cardiac troponin, so myoglobin is now at most an adjunct, mostly as part of combined panels. Outside cardiology a high myoglobin suggests muscle breakdown, though rhabdomyolysis is usually assessed with creatine kinase and urine testing in the laboratory.

Sourcing notes. These are professional-use in vitro diagnostics. Ask whether a combined troponin I, CK-MB and myoglobin cassette would suit the end user better than a single-marker test. Request the instructions for use with the cut-off, clinical performance and comparison data against a laboratory method, the ISO 13485 certificate and IVD registration for the destination market. Confirm the storage range and keep pouches sealed until use. Specify sample type, single or combined format, tests per kit, shelf life on arrival and quantity.
