Spoligo TB & Smart TB
Taking TB detection to new heights
TB Is Not To Be
At Mapmygenome, we understand that TB diagnostics can be a tricky business. There are many tests available, each with its own set of limitations. We understand the need for an efficient and effective diagnostic test that can give accurate results quickly, at a reasonable cost. We offer PCR and RT PCR based solutions, with proven sensitivity and specificity. Our products include.
Spoligo TBTM is a CE-Certified, effective PCR-based method to simultaneously detect and categorize Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Spoligo TBTM utilizes the technology of DNA polymorphism, which is present at a particular chromosomal locus, the Direct Repeat (DR) region, which is unique to Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria.
SMART Tuberculosis is a Realtime PCR method for detection of the mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex. SMART Tuberculosis and its components are suitable for clinical and diagnostic labs. A complete, ready-to-use master mix is supplied with the kit. Users just have to add the extracted DNA sample to the master mix and run the test.
When run according to the instructions, members of the Tuberculosis Complex (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. canetti, M. microti, M. pinnipedii, and M. africanum) are detected through a conserved region in the DNA gene coding for 16s RNA. It is specific for members of the Tuberculosis Complex and does not detect non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium.
