Background and methods: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the analytical performance of the Innotrac Aio! analyzer in measuring the cardiac markers troponin I (TnI), myoglobin (Myo) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), both in lithium heparin plasma and in whole blood.
Results: TnI analytical sensitivity was 0.012 ?g/L and the concentration corresponding to CV=10% was 0.036 ?g/L...
