Accudx Cq Nt Pro Bnp Kit Pack Of 25 Tests Na

AccuDX CQ NT-proBNP Fast Test Kit (Immunofluorescence Assay) is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) in serum, plasma or whole blood. This test is used as an aid in the clinical diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of Heart Failure (HF).

Summary:
N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) is secreted from the left cardiac ventricle in response to volume and pressure overload. It's an inactive N-terminal fragment that split from BNP prohormone. NT-proBNP can be used to evaluate heart contractile, diastolic dysfunction, and ventricular segmental wall motion coordination. Besides, it has high sensitivity and negative predictive value (>97%). As a gold standard recommended by the European Society of Cardiology, American Heart Association,and American College of Cardiology for the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure, NT-proBNP is used to indicate heart failure patient
at the early stage, determine HF risk levels, monitor medical efficiency of HF drug, evaluate prognosis of HF patient and to distinguish dyspnea that caused by HF from other diseases. Furthermore, NT-proBNP is a risk assessment indicator for Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Principle:
The test uses an anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody conjugated with fluorescence latex and an anti-human NT-proBNP polyclonal antibody coated on the test line. After the sample has been applied to the test strip, the fluorescence latex-label led anti-human NT-proBNP monoclonal antibody binds with the NT-proBNP in sample and forms a marked antigen-antibody complex. This complex moves to the test card detection zone by capillary action. Then marked antigen-antibody complex is captured on the test line by the anti-human NT-proBNP polyclonal antibody. The fluorescence intensity of the test line increases in proportion to the amount of NT-proBNP in sample. Then insert test card into ACCUDx CQ Immunofluorescence Quantitative Analyzer, the concentration of NT-proBNP in sample will be measured and displayed on the screen. The value will be stored in ACCUDx CQ Analyzer and available for downloading. The result can be easily transmitted to the laboratory or hospital information system.
