The Wonder In Cardiac Elisa Kits

By Sally Delacruz


Advancement in medical technology has brought new ways of detecting heart diseases in the human body. This is through the use of cardiac Elisa kits. These are diagnostic tools that work with samples and reagents in determining the existence of problems in the heart. This is done through looking out for color change in the reagents.

This process depends is an enzyme dependent process that uses color change as an indicator of reactions in reagents. The process works through an enzyme immunoassay which combines with antigens producing the subsequent color change. This test is capable of establishing the presence of both antibodies and antigens.

This exercise is capable of detecting antibodies and antigens in patients. This is very useful; it helps detect illnesses before they develop into chronic problems. Doctors are able to work on it during its early stages of development. The patient will, therefore, be able to eliminate the problems at an affordable value.

The best of these tools is one that is accurate, sensitive and capable of working in a wide range of samples. Sensitivity means being able to detect and show slight changes in the reagents. Accuracy, on the other hand, is being free of major errors in making measurements. It is also very important for the instrument to be made in a way such that, each heart defect has its own diagnostic equipment.

The device should also be stable. This is achieved through reducing the loss rate as much as may be possible. The tools should be stored in good conditions to ensure that they remain stable. Other environmental influences should be completely avoided. Appropriate environmental conditions should, therefore, be provided. These include; appropriate temperature, pressure and humidity. Somebody should be given the responsibility of controlling the temperature in the incubator at all times. Assigning one person to work on the experiment is also crucial in ensuring stability.

Before the experiment is done, the researcher must prepare all the standards, samples and reagents. Some samples are then added to each well and incubated for approximately two hours. Having done this, the researcher should then aspire the previous mixture before adding a small amount of the reagent. He/she must then incubate the mixture for one hour. The substances are once again aspired and washed three times before a solution of the substrate is added and then incubated for 20-25 minutes. Lastly, a stopping solution is added to end the reaction.

The main principle applied here is enzyme sandwich. The plates inside the testing equipment are always coated with antibodies for specific heart defects. Samples are put into the plates in an appropriate manner. The main contents of the samples are specific biotin-conjugate antibodies. Before incubating, a conjugate of Avidin is added to all plates.

Once the substrate solution has been added, no other part, except the wells, will contain Tropin I type 3. A color change will be exhibited in the reagents. Sulphuric acid is then added with the purpose of bringing the reaction to an end. The change in color is measured in terms of some special wavelengths.
