Picture that: someone comes to the ER with chest pain. But a high troponin test can't tell you whether it's a chronic condition or an acute cardiac injury. ❗
Often, it requires multiple blood draws and hours of waiting.
We've been looking at a different way. It's called Long-T ITC (Long-cTnT ITC Complex).
In an acute injury, cardiomyocytes cells release the ternary troponin complex first. In chronic cases, mostly fragments. That difference could be the key to a faster, more efficient triage — possibly with just one draw.
The study (Long-T ITC-Guided High-Efficiency Triage aNd Individualized Risk StratifyiNG in Patients With Suspected NSTEMI International Multi-Center Clinical Study) just launched – international, multicenter, led by Zhongshan Hospital.
Dr. Brigitte Rina Aninda Sidharta also sees the promise. The data shows Mindray's hs-cTnI and NT-proBNP matched reference methods at 0.96–0.98.

We've already got IFCC recognition for our high-sensitivity troponin – 94% of overall healthy population were determined to exceed the LoD, 20x better anti-interference. That same drive led us to Long-T ITC.
🔬 Working toward a more efficient triage — a faster, clearer direction. That's the goal. 🌟
