Tuberculosis Diagnostic Kit – Your Key to Accurate and Effortless TB Detection!

In the ongoing battle against tuberculosis (TB), accurate and efficient diagnostics are vital. Our Tuberculosis Diagnostic Kit is a go-to solution, meticulously crafted to enhance the precision of TB diagnosis. This comprehensive kit comprises essential components designed to cultivate, isolate, and identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of TB.

Understanding the Tuberculosis Diagnostic Kit

 The Tuberculosis Diagnostic Kit is a sophisticated ensemble of cultivation and isolation mediums meticulously designed to cater to the specific needs of diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. This kit empowers healthcare professionals with a powerful collection to detect TB with precision, thereby facilitating prompt and accurate interventions.

 

Key Components of the Kit include:

1. Dubos Broth Base:
   • Principle: Designed for the cultivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other Mycobacterium species, Dubos Broth Base comprises a carefully curated composition of tryptone, L-asparagine, Polysorbate 80, and various trace elements. These elements collectively provide essential nutrients, act as surfactants, and serve as buffers to create an optimal environment for Mycobacteria
   • Instructions for Use: The user-friendly instructions involve dissolving the base in water, sterilizing through autoclaving, and adding sterile bovine albumin or Albumin Glucose Supplement, creating a rich medium conducive to Mycobacteria
2. Albumin Glucose Supplement:
   • Principle: This supplement, intended for rapid cultivation, complements Dubos Broth Base. Its composition includes albumin fraction V, dextrose, and distilled water, acting as an additional nutrient source to enhance the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
   • Instructions for Use: A simple process involves warming the supplement, aseptically adding it to the Dubos Broth Base, and then pouring the mixture into sterile tubes.
3. Lowenstein Jensen Medium Base (L.J. Medium):
   • Principle: This base is instrumental in isolating and cultivating Mycobacterium Penicillin, Nalidixic acid, and malachite green act as inhibitors, preventing the growth of contaminants and encouraging the early growth of Mycobacteria. RNA serves as a stimulant to increase the isolation rate.
   • Instructions for Use: The straightforward procedure involves dissolving the base, autoclaving, and adding whole egg emulsion and Gruft Mycobacterial Supplement if desired. The mixture is then distributed in sterile tubes.
4. J. Medium Modified:
   • Principle: Tailored for the isolation of Mycobacterium species from mixed flora, L.J. Medium Modified includes malachite green as an inhibitor and pH indicator. The LCN Supplement, containing Cycloheximide and Nalidixic acid, prevents the growth of contaminants.
   • Instructions for Use: The user-friendly instructions include dissolving the base, autoclaving, preparing a whole egg emulsion, and adding the LCN Supplement before distributing the mixture into sterile tubes.
5. J. Medium Slant:
   • Principle: Specifically designed for the cultivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, this medium provides essential fatty acids and proteins for bacterial metabolism. The composition includes L-asparagine, potato starch, glycerol, and malachite green as an inhibitor and pH indicator.
   • Instructions for Use: The slant is inoculated with sputum samples or pure cultures of Mycobacteria, and after incubation, examination is performed at regular intervals.
6. LCN Supplement:
   • Composition: Comprising Actidione (Cycloheximide) and Nalidixic Acid, the LCN Supplement plays a crucial role in inhibiting the growth of saprophytic organisms, gram-positive organisms, and gram-negative organisms in clinical samples.
