RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and mostly affects the lungs. TB is the second infectious disease that causes the most deaths worldwide, after Covid-19. 1.5 million people died from TB in 2020. TB is a treatable and preventable disease. Therefore, diagnosis is important for its treatment and prevention.
BioeXsen MTB qPCR Kit is a real-time PCR (qPCR) test intended for the qualitative detection of the DNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The kit allows the achievement of RT-qPCR results in 45 minutes (Run time may vary depending on the instrument).
TARGETS: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, M. microti, M. caprae, M. canetti and vaccine strain BCG)
Sample types: Sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples.
