Cardiac Biomarkers
Cardiac Biomarker ELISA Kits | Purified Cardiac Biomarkers | Cardiac Biomarker Antibodies
Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones associated with heart function, damage or failure. Certain biomarkers are specific for the heart (cardiac troponin-I) while others (myoglobin and FABP) are also elevated with skeletal muscle damage. Following cardiac injury, biomarkers are released into the blood and their measurement provides an indication of the extent of cardiac damage. In humans, myoglobin and FABP are the first biomarkers to rise above baseline, increasing measurably 2-4 hours after cardiac damage, peaking at 9-12 hours and returning to baseline within 24-36 hours. Cardiac troponin-I rises above normal levels within 4-6 hours, peaks at 12-24 hours and remains elevated for 6-10 days.
At Life Diagnostics, we manufacture cardiac biomarker immunoassays and associated products for research use. Our continuing goal is to offer quality products that can be used to speed development of new cardiovascular drugs and treatment strategies. Key cardiac biomarker products include ELISA test kits for detection of troponin-I, myoglobin and FABP. Kits are available for detection of mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, pig and monkey cardiac biomarkers. We also manufacture purified cardiac biomarkers and associated antibodies. Follow the links above for pricing and specific information on our cardiac biomarker categories.
