About SD BIOSENSOR STANDARD E TB FERON ELISA KIT

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is characterized by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis without evidence of active tuberculosis (TB) disease, including the absence of clinical signs or symptoms and a normal chest radiograph (1). In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that approximately 1.7 billion people, or 23% of the worlds population, were estimated to have LTBI (2), and in a lifetime, approximately 8 to 10% of cases of LTBI reactivate into active TB with its clinical manifestations and spread potential (1).

Accurate and Timely TB Infection Detection

The SD BIOSENSOR STANDARD E TB FERON ELISA KIT allows laboratories to reliably detect immune responses to tuberculosis with high sensitivity and specificity. Results are obtained in approximately 24 hours, making this kit valuable for timely clinical decisions. Its validated accuracy is complemented by an easy-to-follow protocol and the convenience of ready-to-use reagents, minimizing the risk of manual error.

Comprehensive Kit Components for Laboratory Use

This kit includes all the necessary materials for performing up to 96 tests, such as a microplate, TB-specific antigens, conjugate, substrate, stop solution, controls, wash buffer, and detailed instructions. The reagents are color-coded for straightforward identification during the manual or semi-automatic assay process. All components are packed in a portable, standard-sized box for convenient storage and transportation.

Optimal Handling and Storage Conditions

To maintain the kit's integrity and shelf life, store all components between 2-8C and avoid freezing. The kit provides a shelf life of 12 months from the manufacturing date, with the lot number and expiry clearly indicated for traceability. Following these storage guidelines ensures consistent and accurate results throughout the kit's usable life.

FAQ's of SD BIOSENSOR STANDARD E TB FERON ELISA KIT:

Q: How does the SD BIOSENSOR STANDARD E TB FERON ELISA KIT detect TB infection?

A: This kit quantitatively measures interferon gamma (IFN-) released by immune cells in response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antigens using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. The presence and amount of IFN- indicate a specific immune response to TB infection.

Q: What sample types are needed for this ELISA kit?

A: The kit is designed for use with human plasma or serum samples. Please refer to the included instructions for collection and preparation guidelines to ensure reliable results.

Q: When should I use this kit in a diagnostic workflow?

A: This kit is intended for laboratory-based, in vitro diagnostic procedures to support the detection of latent or active tuberculosis infection based on immune response. Use it according to clinical referral and diagnostic protocols.

Q: Where can the SD BIOSENSOR STANDARD E TB FERON ELISA KIT be used?

A: This kit is suitable for use in diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, or research institutions equipped to perform ELISA assays. It is not intended for point-of-care or home use.

Q: What is the testing process with this ELISA kit?

A: Users add specified volumes of plasma or serum to antibody-coated microplates, incubate with TB-specific antigens, and follow step-by-step reagent additions. After 24 hours, colorimetric changes are measured according to the insert, reflecting IFN- levels. Detailed instructions are provided with the kit.

Q: How should the kit be stored and handled?

A: All kit components must be kept refrigerated at 2-8C. Do not freeze any reagents. Always observe the expiry date and lot number for quality assurance.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this TB ELISA kit?

A: The kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, user-friendly color-coded reagents, compatibility with manual or semi-automatic operation, and ready-to-use components, enabling efficient and accurate TB immune response detection in laboratory diagnostics.
