Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease and one of the leading causes of death worldwide, ranking above HIV/AIDS. The WHO and CDC recommend screening for active TB in certain high-risk groups to improve early detection of the disease. More specifically, they recommend a diagnostic nucleic acid amplification test for all patients suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis, and for those already diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
Due to the growing number of cases and immunosuppressive treatments, non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections are also steadily rising. Species differentiation is also vitally important for finding appropriate antibiotics and treatment.
The MTBC-NTM REAL TIME PCR KIT marks a breakthrough in diagnostics, allowing the simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species associated with tuberculosis-like pulmonary diseases. Approved for use with human clinical samples such as sputum, bronchial washings and cell cultures, this kit enables primary screening for the early detection of tuberculosis.
Kit details:
The MTBC-NTM REAL TIME PCR kit is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic kit that can simultaneously detect the Mycobacterium tuberculosis species and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), while also detecting other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species that cause tuberculosis-like pulmonary diseases.
Vitro has proprietary instruments that allow the MTBC-NTM REAL TIME PCR KIT to be fully automated, and it is compatible with most thermocyclers on the market thanks to its open system. With outstanding detection sensitivity of 1 copy/reaction for the Mycobacterium, genus, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis species, this kit is a vital tool for species differentiation and choosing appropriate antibiotics and treatments.
