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.

The process of diagnosing illnesses depends on an enzyme reaction that gives its results through exhibiting certain color changes. The enzyme and some antibodies combine with antigens, and subsequently change their color to indicate occurrence of a reaction. With this test, researchers are able to detect both antigens and antibodies.

This process can be used in establishing the presence of foreign bodies in human beings. It is very important since it helps in detecting and treating heart problems before they develop into serious problems. This helps in cutting down the cost involved in diagnosing and treating heart defects. This is because the defects are discovered in their early stages before they become serious problems.

Proper working of this equipment means it is sensitive to reactions, gives accurate results, and is capable of making many detailed readings at a time. When a tool is sensitive, it can exhibit any slight change resulting from the reaction between samples and reagents. Its accuracy ensures that results obtained are free of errors, and hence, believable. They are also manufactured to work on specific problems.

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.

After putting substrate solutions together with other reagents, only the micro-wells will have Tropin I type three. A color change will then be exhibited, and a stopper solution is added. The change in color is then measured using wavelengths.
