Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A measurement method and a measurement reagent for cardiac troponin which enable accurate measurement of the amount of cardiac troponin contained in a sample irrespective of the type of the sample and the presence or absence of other components are disclosed. The measurement method for cardiac troponin, wherein cardiac troponin in a sample separated from a body is measured by an immunoassay, includes a pretreatment step of mixing the sample separated from a body with a pretreatment liquid containing one or both of a surfactant and an acidifier. The reagent for immunoassay of cardiac troponin includes a pretreatment liquid containing one or both of a surfactant and an acidifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of measuring, by immunoassay, cardiac troponin in a sample separated from a body, the method comprising a pretreatment step of mixing the sample separated from a body with a pretreatment liquid containing one or both of a surfactant and an acidifier. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pretreatment liquid further contains a reducing agent. 3 . The method according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the pretreatment liquid contains a surfactant, and the surfactant is one or more selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and nonionic surfactants. 4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the surfactant is an anionic surfactant. 5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the pretreatment step is carried out under heat. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pretreatment liquid contains an acidifier, and the acidifier has a final concentration of more than 0.05 N and not more than 0.5 N in the pretreatment step. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cardiac troponin is cardiac troponin I. 8 . A reagent for immunoassay of cardiac troponin, the reagent comprising a pretreatment liquid containing one or both of a surfactant and an acidifier.
