Troponin I, Cardiac, aa169-184 (cTnI) (FITC)

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.

Reacts equally with free cardiac troponin I (cTnl) and cTnl forming complexes with other troponin components. Not affected by heparin, phosphorylation and oxidation. Recognizes an epitope located between aa169-184 of cTnI. Less than 10% crossreactivity with skeletal muscle troponin I.
