Cowingene MTB and NTM Detection Kit（NATBox）

The MTB/NTM Detection Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of DNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and other bacteria included as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patient specimens. The test utilizes amplification of target DNA by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the detection of MTB/NTM in a single analysis. The test specifically identifies MTB and NTM.

The MTB/NTM Detection Kit is performed on the NATBox System. It is an automated in vitro diagnostic test system.
The NATBox Systems automate and integrate sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction and amplification, and detection of the target sequences in samples. The systems require the use of single-use cartridges that hold the PCR reagents and host the PCR process. Because the cartridges are self-contained, cross-contamination between samples is minimized. For a full description of the system, please see the product manual of NATBox System.
