A DISPOSABLE DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR M. TUBERCULOSIS (MTB) AND MDR-TB

摘要

The disposable diagnostic kit for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and MDR-TB (Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) / XDR- TB (Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis) / TDR-TB (Totally drug-resistant tuberculosis) and method for the detection of bacteria by visual observation is provided. The disposable diagnostic kit includes filter, microfluidic channel, target material binding reactor consisting of strip coated with fluorescent dye, fluorescent detector. In the present invention biomaterials form the infected sample of patient are bind with a fluorescent dye, wherein absorption of fluorescence by the antigen or antibody of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), MDR-TB and XDR-TB allowing differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis species by visual observation.
