DiAGSure® MTB Quantitative Kit

Intent to use:
The DiAGSure® MTB Quantitative Kit is a real-time PCR assay designed for the quantitative detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) DNA in clinical samples. Tuberculosis remains one of the top infectious killers worldwide, and bacterial load plays a critical role in disease severity, monitoring treatment response, and assessing infectiousness. This kit allows precise quantification of MTB genome copies, enabling clinicians to track bacterial burden over time and evaluate therapy effectiveness in pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB cases. Quantitative MTB assessment is particularly useful in immunocompromised patients, those with recurrent TB, and in treatment monitoring programs. The assay delivers high sensitivity and specificity even in low-load specimens, helping distinguish active disease from latent infection. The DiAGSure® MTB Quantitative Kit enhances clinical decision-making, supports treatment outcome studies, and contributes to improved TB control in high-prevalence and vulnerable populations.

Key Specifications:
 Quantifies Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA load in clinical samples using real-time PCR.
 Supports monitoring of treatment response by tracking bacterial burden over time.
 Enables precise assessment of disease severity and infectiousness, especially in pulmonary TB.
 Useful in managing extrapulmonary TB and immunocompromised patients where bacterial load is low.
 High sensitivity and specificity aid in distinguishing active TB from latent or residual infection.

 Sample types:
Oropharyngeal/ Nasopharyngeal Swabs in VTM, BAL, Sputum.
