Differential molecular diagnosis of tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria

MTBC-NTM Real Time PCR Kit allows the qualitative detection of Mycobacterium spp DNA., of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex —MTBC— and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis species by multiplex real-time PCR, from DNA purified from mycobacterial cultures and human pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical samples.

Differential molecular detection

Simultaneous identification of Mycobacterium spp., Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a single multiplex real-time PCR reaction.

Extensive sample coverage

Validated for purified DNA from mycobacterial cultures and clinical lung samples — sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchial aspiration — and extrapulmonary — ascitic fluid, pericardial fluid, pleural fluid, stool, urine and tissues.

Support for early diagnosis

Molecular detection makes it possible to shorten times compared to conventional cultivation, facilitating rapid clinical decision making and control measures.

MTBC vs NTM Differentiation

Allows us to distinguish between M complex infection. tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), a key differentiation to guide clinical management and isolation measures.

Kit information:
The MTBC-NTM REAL TIME PCR kit is a multiplex in vitro diagnostic kit that allows simultaneous detection of the species Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the complex Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTBC), while detecting other species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causing lung diseases similar to tuberculosis.

MTBC-NTM

Rapid molecular diagnosis for tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria

Tuberculosis continues to be an infectious disease with high clinical and health impact. Early identification of mycobacterial DNA is essential to initiate appropriate treatment, apply isolation measures and reduce the risk of transmission.

MTBC-NTM Real Time PCR Kit is a multiplex real-time PCR-based assay that detects and differentiates Mycobacterium spp., the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis species. The kit incorporates an internal human β-globin control to verify the quality of the starting material and correct amplification.

With an analytical sensitivity of 5 copies/reaction, high analytical specificity without cross-reactions with the respiratory microorganisms evaluated and compatibility with validated Real-Time PCR thermal cyclers, offers a precise solution, sensitive and reproducible for the molecular diagnosis of mycobacteria.
