The Wonder In Cardiac Elisa Kits

By Sally Delacruz


Technological advancement in medicine has helped come up with better diagnostic methods. The cardiac Elisa kits are the latest invention in this field. They are enzyme-dependent test devices that help in determining the presence or absence of heart diseases. These equipments are capable of discerning problems in hearts of virtually all animals.

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 test can also be used in detecting foreign bodies that exist in low concentrations. Heart problems can, therefore, be identified before they become chronic. The patient is advantaged; he will spend less money fighting a developing problem than he would have spent on a chronic one. This is because it is cheaper treating a disease while still in its early stages than when it has developed into a complex illness.

For proper working of these devices precision, sensitivity, accuracy and ability to work on a wide range of problems, and give many details are very important. Sensitivity helps in detecting any slight change in reaction when they are mixed with the samples. Accuracy, on the other hand, is required in ensuring that no errors are made in the experiments. The devices are also supposed to be specific to individual heart problems.

Stability is also important in the working of this equipment. To ensure stability, the loss rate of the activity has to be kept as low as possible. Good storage is also very important in ensuring stability. For the purpose of minimizing the effects of the environment on this experiment, standard lab conditions are very important; room temperature, standard pressure and humidity. The temperatures within the incubator should be closely regulated. It is also important to have one person working on the experiment from beginning to end.

For proper working of this activity, the researcher must ensure that all standards, reagents and samples are prepared in advance. The next thing is addition of some samples to all the wells and incubating them for close to 2 hours. He should then aspire and add some reagents. Next, he should put it back in the incubator for an hour, and later aspire and wash the mixture three times. The substrate solution should then be added, and the mixture incubated for a period of between 20 and 25 minutes. After, this step, a stopping agent must be added to stop the reaction for the researcher to make readings.

This process applies the sandwich enzyme principle. The plate that comes with the kit is coated with antibodies that are specific to the defect to be diagnosed. Standards/samples are later put on the plate as is appropriate. The samples or standards contain biotin-conjugate antibodies that are specific for the defect. Avidin conjugate is then added to every plate before incubating.

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.
