DiAGSure Mycobacterium tuberculosis Detection Kit

Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis called Mycobacterium tuberculosis are spread from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes. Signs and symptoms of active TB include: Coughing for three or more weeks, Coughing up blood or mucus, Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing, Unintentional weight loss, Fatigue, Fever, Night sweats, Chills, Loss of appetite. Endogenous IC ensures sample quality along with process control. Each reaction is of 25 uL volume which requires a DNA input of 8 uL per reaction. Positive controls (PC) have been so provided to run a PC per 10 samples. On the contrary, a customer can half-dilute the PC to run a single PC per 5 samples.
  • Specimen type: Sputum, BAL, pleural fluid, endometrial tissue and blood, culture, etc
  • Strain Coverage: Detects all available strains of MTB. For MTBC kit, the species coverage includes tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. microti, M. caprae and M. africanum.
  • Technology: 2-plex TaqMan PCR (one for target, other for internal control)
  • Turn-around-time: 1 hr 10 mins
  • Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the kit is less than 10 copies of MTB DNA.
  • Specificity: >=99%

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) Detection Test

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is a genetically related group of Mycobacterium species that can cause tuberculosis in humans as well as other animals. Tuberculosis infection can be of many di.erent types. Primary tuberculosis may be asymptomatic and may only be recognized by a positive skin test. In addition to that, primary complex develops in the lungs, which results in calcifications. Some potent symptoms of this disease are cough, weight loss, night sweats, low-grade fever, dyspnea, lymphadeno pathy, chest pain, and even pneumonia or phthisis
  • Species coverage 99% Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  • Specimen type Sputum and blood specimens
  • Specificity 21%
  • Technology 2-plex TaqMan PCR (one for target, other for internal control)
  • Analytical Time 90 min
  • Turn-around-time 24 hr
  • Sensitivity 81%

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) Detection Test

Streptococcus pneumoniae are lancet-shaped, gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacteria with 100 known serotypes. Pneumonia is the most common of the S. pneumoniae diseases which include symptoms such as fever and chills, cough, rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. For the elderly, they may include confusion, low alertness, and the former listed symptoms to a lesser degree. Pneumococcal meningitis is an infection of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include still neck, fever, headache, confusion, and photophobia.
  • Species coverage: 99%
  • Specimen type: Human nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab, anterior nasal swab, midturbinate, sputum and blood specimens
  • Specificity:82%
  • Technology: 2-plex TaqMan PCR (one for target, other for internal control)
  • Analytical Time: 90 min
  • Turn-around-time: 24 hrs
  • Sensitivity: 10 copies of Streptococcus pneumoniae DNA in a reaction
 

Haemophilus influenzae (HI) Detection Test

Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative, coccobacillary, facultatively anaerobic capnophilic pathogenic bacterium of the family Pasteurellaceae. The bacterium was argued by some to be the cause of influenza as bacterial influenza. H. influenzae is responsible for a wide range of localized and invasive infections, but influenza is caused by viruses. Haemophilus influenzae can cause respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, otitis media, epiglottitis (swelling in the throat), eye infections and bloodstream infection, meningitis. It can also cause cellulitis (skin infection) and infectious arthritis (inflammation of the joint)
  • Species coverage: 99% Haemophilus influenzae
  • Specimen type: human nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab, anterior nasal swab, midturbinate, sputum and blood specimens
  • Specificity:19%
  • Technology: 2-plex TaqMan PCR (one for target, other for internal control)
  • Analytical Time: 90 min
  • Turn-around-time: 48 hrs
  • Sensitivity: 10 copies of Haemophilus influenzae DNA in a reaction
