One strip - one test MTB complex and rapid rifampicin susceptibility testing
Features & Benefits
-
Detects M. tuberculosis complex and sensitivity/resistance to rifampicin (RMP) simultaneously on one strip
-
Detects mixed populations, allowing early detection of emerging resistant strains
-
Targets the rpoB gene where mutations associated with RMP resistance are located1
-
Quick visual interpretation2
-
Fast resistance profile obtained before standard susceptibility testing
- Automation is possible using Auto-LiPA 48
