Product Details
【Product name】 ST2.pdf
Diagnostic Kit for growth STimulation expressed gene
2(Immunochromatographic assay)
【Package specification】
25 Tests/kit
【Intended use】
This kit is used for quantitative determination of ST2 in human
whole blood, plasma and serum.
It is used to evaluate the prognosis and clinical diagnosis of
patients with chronic heart failure.
【Test principle】
The ST2 Rapid Test is a one-step chromatographic sandwich
immunoassay designed for the quantitative measurement of ST2. The
ST2 antigen in the sample was first bound with the conjugated
compound of fluorescent labeled ST2 monoclonal antibody, then moved
and combined with another ST2 monoclonal antibody fixed on the
nitrocellulose membrane, and the double antibody sandwich complex
was formed at the detection line of the cellulose nitrate membrane.
The quantitative detection results were obtained by NIR-1000 dry
fluoroimmunoassay analyser.

interchangeably.
【Storage conditions and validity】
The kit should be stored at 4℃~30℃, out of direct sunlight. It is
valid for 18 months. The test card should be used within 15 minutes
after unsealing under the environment of 15℃~30℃ and 20% ~ 90%
relative humidity.
The production date, batch number and expiration date are shown in
the outer package of the product.
【Applicable instruments】

【Sample requirements】
- Plasma, serum and whole blood can be used as samples. The whole
blood should be collected in a tube containing heparin, citrate or
EDTA as the anticoagulant. If the serum procedure is used, collect
blood in a tube without anticoagulant and allow clotting. Hemolyzed
samples should not be used.
- Venous blood was collected according to routine laboratory methods
to avoid hemolysis.
- It is highly recommended to use fresh samples instead of keeping
the samples at room temperature for a long time. After samples were
collected, the detection should be completed within 4 hours at room
temperature (15℃~30℃). The whole blood sample can be stored at
2℃~8℃ for 24 hours. Plasma and serum samples can be stored at 2℃~
8℃ for 7 days, -20℃for 30 days.
- Before testing, the sample should return to room temperature
(15℃~30℃). The frozen samples should be completely thawed,
rewarming and mixed evenly before use. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles
should be avoided.
【Test procedure】
- Before the test, please read the instructions completely. If the
test card and sample are stored in cold storage, they should be
balanced at room temperature (15-30)℃ for not less than 30min
before use.
- Start NIR-1000 dry fluoroimmunoassay analyser and correctly select
the corresponding sample type on the instrument.
- Take out the ID card, make sure that the batch number of the ID
card is consistent with that of the test card, and insert the ID
card into the ID card port of the instrument.
- Take out the test card from the aluminum foil bag and use it within
15 minutes.
- Place the test card on a clean horizontal table and mark it
horizontally.
- Mix 100 µL of sample with 400µL of sample diluent. Apply 100 µL of
diluted samples to the well of the test card.
- At 10 minutes after addition of samples, insert the test card into
NIR-1000 dry fluoroimmunoassay analyser and click the “Instant
test” button to read the results.
【Reference interval】
Healthy non-pregnant adults are expected to have serum ST2 values
below 35.00ng/mL. It is strongly recommended that each laboratory
should determine its own normal and abnormal values based on
population.
【Interpretation of results】
- This reagent is only used for auxiliary detection. If the test
results are abnormal, it should be reviewed in time and judged in
combination with clinical symptoms.
- For samples with ST2 concentration lower than 10.00ng/mL and higher
than 400.00ng/mL, the detection results are reported as
"<10.00ng/mL" and "> 400.00ng/mL", respectively.
【Limitations of methods】
- This kit is only used to detect human plasma/whole blood samples
- Due to the limitations of immunoassay methods of antigen and
antibody reaction, the results cannot be used as the only basis for
clinical diagnosis, but should be evaluated with all the existing
clinical and experimental data.
- The content of triglyceride in the sample shall not exceed 15mg/ml,
the content of hemoglobin shall not exceed 5mg/ml, and the content
of bilirubin shall not exceed 0.5mg/ml, and the relative deviation
of the test results shall not exceed ±15%.
- When the concentration of ST2 in the sample is less than 4000ng/mL,
there is no hook effect.
- HAMA effect was not produced when the concentration of human anti
rat in the sample was less than 50ng/ml.
- When RF concentration in the sample is less than 2000IU/ml, the
relative deviation of the test results is within ±15%.
