[POCT] Blood Tuberculosis Test (Ag detection)

New Biomarker based Diagnostics
New Biomarker based Diagnostics for "active" TB infection diagnosis (c.f. IGRA is only for LTBI)
•  Specificity : About 95% over cultivation result
•  Sensitivity  :
   - Over 85% on the culture result of Pulmonary TB patients
   - Over 60% on the extra-pulmonary TB patients

Simple steps and Quick test results (40 minutes only!)
• Operator Safety &Test Productivity
• Patient Safety with lower exposure of irrelevant antibiotics prescription

No pain on the Sputum!
It is very difficult to get a sputum (especailly from children and elderly) and even with good quality.
It is reported that only less than 30% of them has a good quality.
We can diagnose active TB infection with small volume(10ul) of blood(serum or plasma).

Lower test cost than Molecular Diagnosis
• Lower Operational cost with simple steps
• Lower price than the PCR diagnostics

Precision of measurement (Repeatability/Reproducibility)
100%, The results were compared within the test, between the tests, between the test days, within the test room, between the test sites, and between lots.
