| MYO/MB

Myoglobin ( MYO or MB) is an iron and oxygen binding protein.Compared to hemoglobin, myoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen and does not have cooperative binding with oxygen like hemoglobin does.Myoglobin consists of non-polar amino acids at the core of the globulin, where the heme group is non-covalently bounded with the surrounding polypeptide of myoglobin.Myoglobin belongs to the globin superfamily of proteins. Myoglobin is a sensitive marker for muscle injury, making it a potential marker for heart attack in patients with chest pain.
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	40	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.62	0
OD	1.99	1.26	0.82	0.52	0.37	0.27	0.22	0.08
Corrected OD	1.91	1.18	0.74	0.44	0.29	0.19	0.14	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Rat MYO/MB spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	83-101	96
Plasma(n=8)	92-105	102
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	96-108	105

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Rat MYO/MB and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Tissue Homogenates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	91	93	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-115
	Average (%)	94	98	108
