Description
LifeSign MI CK-MB/Myo/TnI runs three cardiac markers on one cassette for the rapid qualitative detection of CK-MB, myoglobin and troponin I in whole blood, serum or plasma. It aids in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and is built for prompt emergency room triage, with results in 15 minutes.
- Three Markers, One Cassette – CK-MB, myoglobin and troponin I report together, so one draw covers the early and late marker windows.
- Results in 15 Minutes – The qualitative readout lands inside the triage window, supporting faster disposition decisions.
- Three Sample Types – Whole blood, serum or plasma all run on the cassette, matching however the department collects.
Three-Marker Cardiac Panel for Emergency Triage
A suspected myocardial infarction rarely waits for a central laboratory queue, and this panel is designed for that pressure. One cassette detects CK-MB, myoglobin and troponin I qualitatively from whole blood, serum or plasma, combining an early-rising marker with the more specific troponin signal. LifeSign places the test in the moderately complex CLIA category and positions it for prompt triage of patients in the emergency room. Results read in 15 minutes, which keeps the assay inside the department's decision cycle. The box holds 20 tests for stocked triage use. It aids diagnosis alongside the clinical picture rather than replacing it.
Features and Benefits
Panel Performance
- Triple-Marker Coverage – Myoglobin rises early, CK-MB adds mid-window signal and troponin I brings cardiac specificity to one result set.
- 15-Minute Read Time – A quarter-hour turnaround keeps chest-pain workups moving without a send-out delay.
Workflow Fit
- Flexible Specimens – Whole blood avoids a spin step at the bedside, while serum and plasma suit laboratory collection.
- Moderately Complex CLIA Category – The test sits in the moderately complex category, fitting hospital laboratory and supervised point-of-care settings.

Why Choose the LifeSign MI Panel
Single-marker troponin testing leaves the early window thin, and send-out panels cost the department its decision window. This cassette covers three markers in 15 minutes from the sample types the ER already collects. For chest-pain triage programs, that breadth at the point of care is the difference.
- Early and Late Markers Together – Myoglobin covers the first hours while troponin I confirms cardiac specificity in the same run.
- Built for Triage Pace – A 15-minute qualitative result supports disposition decisions inside the emergency visit.
- Sample Flexibility – Whole blood, serum or plasma keep the test usable across collection workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test detect?
It qualitatively detects three cardiac markers, CK-MB, myoglobin and troponin I, in whole blood, serum or plasma. The panel aids in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
How fast are results?
Results read in 15 minutes. That turnaround is sized for emergency room triage and early disposition decisions.
What is the CLIA category?
LifeSign lists the test as moderately complex. It runs in hospital laboratories and supervised point-of-care settings.
How many tests come in a box?
Each box holds 20 tests. The box is sold as one unit for stocked triage or laboratory use.
Does a positive result diagnose a heart attack by itself?
No, the test aids diagnosis and is interpreted with the clinical picture and other findings. LifeSign positions it as a triage aid for suspected myocardial infarction.
