Survival and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are highly dependent on rapid and accurate diagnosis of myocardial damage. Troponin T is the primary diagnostic biomarker and is widely used in clinical practice. Amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay (AlphaLISA) may provide a solution to rapidly detect a small amount of analyte through molecular interactions between special luminescent donor beads and acceptor bead. Here, a double-antibody sandwich assay was introduced into AlphaLISA for rapid detection for early diagnosis of AMI and disease staging evaluation. The performance of the assay was evaluated. The study found that the cTnT assay has a linear range of 48.66 to 20,000 ng/L with a limit of detection of 48.66 ng/L. In addition, the assay showed no cross-reactivity with other classic biomarkers of myocardial infarction and was highly reproducible with intra- and inter-batch coefficients of variation of less than 10%, notably, only 3 min was taken, which is particularly suitable for clinical diagnosis. These results suggest that our method can be conveniently applied in the clinic to determine the severity of the patient's condition.
