Creatine kinase MB mass measurement for cardiac injury assessment
Product overview
The i-STAT CK-MB cartridge provides quantitative measurement of creatine kinase MB mass in whole blood or plasma samples. CK-MB is a cardiac enzyme that rises when heart muscle is damaged, making it a useful marker in the workup of suspected myocardial infarction. While troponin has become the primary cardiac biomarker, CK-MB remains clinically relevant for timing the onset of infarction and detecting reinfarction.
Expand your point-of-care testing capacity with refurbished i-STAT analyzers
If your facility relies on the Abbott i-STAT system for point-of-care testing, Block Scientific can help you increase your testing capacity at a fraction of the cost of buying new. The Abbott i-STAT is one of Block Scientific's Centers of Excellence analyzers, which means we carry deep inventory, provide factory-level refurbishment, and back every unit with comprehensive service and support.
Adding refurbished i-STAT 1 or i-STAT Alinity instruments to your fleet lets you deploy more analyzers across departments, satellite locations, or mobile units without the capital outlay of purchasing new. Every refurbished i-STAT from Block Scientific is thoroughly tested, calibrated, and verified to meet original manufacturer specifications before it ships.
And when you bundle your cartridge and consumable orders with refurbished instrumentation, you get the best possible pricing on both. Complete the form on this page and your local sales rep will contact you to discuss your application.
Clinical applications
Used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction. CK-MB rises within 3-6 hours of cardiac injury, peaks at 12-24 hours, and returns to baseline within 48-72 hours. This well-defined rise-and-fall pattern makes CK-MB useful for estimating the timing of infarction and identifying reinfarction events that troponin alone may not clearly distinguish.
What does the i-STAT CK-MB Cartridge measure?

Specifications
Intended use
An in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatine kinase MB mass in whole blood or plasma samples. CK-MB measurements can be used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. While troponin is the preferred biomarker for MI diagnosis, CK-MB has a shorter elevation window (rising and falling within about 72 hours). This makes it useful for timing the onset of a cardiac event and for detecting reinfarction in patients with already-elevated troponin levels.
The CK-MB cartridge requires only 17 uL of sample, which is one of the smallest volumes across the i-STAT cartridge lineup.
Results are typically available within minutes at the point of care, compared to the 30-60+ minute turnaround common with central lab cardiac marker panels.
