Thanks to high-sensitivity troponin I assays, new possibilities have emerged for quicker, more accurate diagnoses of myocardial infarction. Dr. Peter Kavsak discusses these assays and their potential to significantly impact patient care and protocol.
An assay utilizing monoclonal antibodies will most likely have better lot-to-lot consistency as the monoclonal antibodies are not subject to the variations seen with polyclonal antibodies.
Spanish lab employs a unique solution to optimize immunoassay testing.
