Product Details FAQ Specification Instructions

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, commonly referred to as TB bacillus, is the bacterium responsible for causing tuberculosis (TB), a contagious airborne disease that primarily affects the lungs. TB remains a significant global health concern, with millions of new cases reported annually worldwide. Molecular detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is crucial for diagnosing TB, as it offers rapid and accurate identification of the bacterium in clinical specimens such as sputum, blood, and tissue samples. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are commonly used for molecular detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis due to their high sensitivity and specificity. Early detection of TB through molecular methods plays a pivotal role in initiating timely treatment, preventing disease transmission, and controlling the spread of TB in communities.

High Specificity

Targets the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB), including M. tuberculosis (H37Rv), M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. muris. Specially designed primers and TaqMan probes enable clear differentiation between MTB and NTM (non-tuberculous mycobacteria).

High Sensitivity

Optimized real-time PCR system ensures reliable detection and accurate quantitative analysis of MTB nucleic acids.

Easy Operation

Simple workflow with a streamlined procedure, allowing the entire detection process to be completed within approximately 2 hours.

Internal Control

Built-in internal control monitors the effectiveness of the PCR reaction and helps prevent false-negative results.

1. The kit need to be transported under freezing conditions.

2. The kit should be stored at -25°C--15°C away from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw more than 5 times.

3. The kit can be stored for up to 12 months if all components are kept in the manner above. (Please use the kit in the period of validity).
