  • Patent number: 11525828
    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a test strip for use in measuring a level of an ST2 cardiac biomarker in a blood plasma sample. The test strip includes a base, and a plurality of conjugates, wherein each conjugate includes a reporter group bound to a first antibody that binds to ST2. A conjugate pad disposed along a length of the base and is configured to hold the plurality of conjugates that bind with ST2 to produce conjugate-ST2 complexes. The conjugate pad is further configured to receive the blood plasma sample. The test strip also includes a plurality of second and third antibodies that bind to ST2, and the conjugate-ST2 complexes, respectively. The plurality of second antibodies are bound to a membrane in a test location and the plurality of third antibodies are bound to the membrane in a control location.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11340222
    Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a test strip for use in measuring a level of an ST2 cardiac biomarker in a whole blood sample. The test strip includes a base, and a plurality of conjugates, wherein each conjugate includes a reporter group bound to a first antibody that binds to ST2. A conjugate pad holds the plurality of conjugates that bind with ST2 to produce conjugate-ST2 complexes. The test strip also includes a plurality of second antibodies that bind to ST2, and a plurality of third antibodies that bind to the conjugate-ST2 complexes. The plurality of second antibodies are bound to a membrane in a test location, and the plurality of third antibodies are bound to the membrane in a control location. A plasma separation pad passes blood plasma from a whole blood sample to the conjugate pad while inhibiting other components.
