Why the study?
Commercially available cardiac troponin I immunoassays are not standardized, and inter-assay differences in detection can be clinically relevant.
Does the Abbott i-STAT immunoassay provide comparable cardiac troponin I measurements to the ADVIA Centaur immunoassay in cattle?
Does the Abbott i-STAT immunoassay provide comparable cardiac troponin I measurements to the ADVIA Centaur immunoassay in cattle?
The Abbott i-STAT immunoassay systematically yields lower cardiac troponin I concentrations compared to the ADVIA Centaur assay in cattle, indicating that assay-specific reference intervals are necessary.
May require assay-specific cTnI reference intervals in cattle; leaves open interchangeability of i-STAT and Centaur.
