NT-proBNP is a marker for detecting heart function, with a long half-life and high specificity. Biotime NT-proBNP test kit detects the amount of NT-proBNP in human whole blood, serum and plasma samples.
During heart failure, the heart makes two proteins, called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-proBNP). Levels of both in the blood go up when heart failure gets worse and go down when it gets better.
BNP Rapid Quantitative Test (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay) is used for in vitro quantitative detection of the Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration in human plasma that contains EDTA anticoagulants and venous whole blood samples, mainly used for auxiliary diagnosis of cardiac diseases.
