Today is World Tuberculosis Day. As is well-known, Tuberculosis remains one of the greatest global public health threats. Timely and accurate diagnosis is critical to mitigate growing risks. Drug resistant TB remains a major driver of treatment failure, highlighting the urgent need for advanced molecular diagnostics such as tNGS.
Traditional bacterial culture for TB detection typically takes 2~8 weeks, while qPCR only detects known, limited drug-resistant genes or mutations. In contrast, tNGS enables comprehensive one-time detection of dozens of drug-resistant genes and rare/unknown mutations without culture.
GeneMind MTBseq™ Solution
1.Powered by GeneMind sequencers, this solution eliminates the need for bacterial culture. Using the FASTASeq S for PE100 sequencing, the entire process only takes 17 hours (32 samples, automatic workflow, from nucleic acid extraction to report);
On this World TB Day, GeneMind remains committed to delivering faster, more accurate and comprehensive TB tNGS solutions.
