It just takes three stimulation tubes and one of the associated tests – either ELISA or lateral flow – to tackle Tuberculosis (TB) in all environments from fully equipped laboratory set-up to remote locations.

R-Biopharm’s TB diagnostics (CE IVDR approved) are based on the detection of the biomarker IP-10 (interferon-gamma induced protein 10) which is secreted in concentrations of up to 100 times higher than interferon-γ after specific T-cell stimulation with tuberculosis antigens. IP-10 is a chemokine that is released in response to interferon-γ and plays an important role in the inflammatory response.
