Detection of Cardiac Markers on a Droplet Actuator
First Claim
1. A method of assaying a cardiac marker in a biological sample from a subject, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a droplet actuator;
(b) loading the biological sample and assay reagents on the droplet actuator;
(c) executing droplet operations to create sample droplets from the sample and reagent droplets from the reagents on the droplet actuator; and
(d) executing droplet operations using the sample droplets and reagent droplets to produce a detectable signal indicative of the quantity of the cardiac marker in the biological sample.
