The MTB Test Kit (Sanity 2.0) (Abbreviation: Sanity MTB) is a cartridge-based test kit for qualitative detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in sputum specimens. This kit is designed for use with the Sanity 2.0 System, Sanity 2.0s System and Sanity 2.1 System. These are fully automated platforms that streamline testing workflows. The system integrates nucleic acid extraction, real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) and result interpretation into one unified process. This integrated workflow lowers procedural complexity, reduces the risk of errors, and delivers accurate and efficient detection of MTBC.

By automating these steps, the Sanity 2.0 / Sanity 2.0s / Sanity 2.1 System allows for a more rapid turnaround time, which is crucial for the timely identification and treatment of MTBC. Sanity MTB in combination with Sanity 2.0 / Sanity 2.0s / Sanity 2.1 System provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for laboratories and healthcare facilities looking to enhance their TB diagnostic capabilities.

Principle

The Sanity MTB employs a Taqman probe-based real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) to qualitatively detect the IS6110 gene, which is specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), and uses the Arabidopsis thaliana SUC2 gene as a non-human internal control, all within a single reaction. For ease of storage and transportation, the amplification reagent is designed as a pre-distributed dry reagent (lyophilized).

Features

This kit should be used with MTB DNA Extraction Kit (Sanity 2.0) for nucleic acid extraction.
