Biomarker Infection
STANDARD F TB-Feron FIA (IFN-gamma) aids to diagnosis of Tuberculosis infection. TB Antigens coated in TB-Feron Tube stimulate T cells in heparinized whole blood from patients with symptoms of Tuberculosis (TB), and T cells secrete interferon-I3 (IFN-I3). The concentration of IFN-I3 is measured by fluorescent immunoassay (FIA) to identify in vitro responses to those recombinant TB Antigens that are associated with M.tuberculosis infection.
Advanced TB Detection TechnologyThe TB-Feron FIA utilizes cutting-edge fluorescence immunoassay technology for precise, rapid quantification of interferon-gamma (IFN-) in whole blood. This advanced approach supports clinical laboratories by enabling fast, high-throughput analysis and minimizing manual intervention. The system's high-grade construction and digital interface ensure consistent and accurate results, aiding timely TB diagnosis.
User-Centric Design and ConnectivityDesigned for ease of use, the analyzer features a user-friendly LCD display, confidential automated processes, and intuitive controls. It includes an auto-calibration system and robust internal memory for up to 5,000 records. The instrument supports direct data transfer via USB or printout, ensuring seamless workflow integration in modern clinical environments.
Efficient and Reliable OperationWith throughput for up to 50 samples per hour and rapid reading times of just 15-30 minutes, the analyzer enhances laboratory productivity. Its compact dimensions, lightweight build (approx. 3 kg), and low noise levels (<40 dB) make it an excellent choice for busy diagnostic laboratories requiring reliable and efficient TB testing solutions.
FAQ's of SD Biosensor STANDARD F TB-Feron FIA (IFN-gamma):
Q: How does the SD Biosensor STANDARD F TB-Feron FIA detect tuberculosis?
A: The analyzer detects interferon-gamma (IFN-) levels in whole blood through a quantitative fluorescence immunoassay. The presence of IFN- serves as an indicator for TB infection, aiding clinicians in diagnosis.
Q: What is the typical turnaround time for test results?
A: The TB-Feron FIA system delivers results rapidly, typically within 15 to 30 minutes after the sample has been processed, enabling timely clinical decision-making.
Q: When and where can this analyzer be used effectively?
A: The analyzer is intended for clinical diagnostic laboratories operating within environmental conditions of 10-35C and humidity below 80%. Its portability and low noise make it suitable for various healthcare settings in India and elsewhere.
Q: What benefits does the automatic calibration feature provide?
A: Automatic calibration ensures each test run meets stringent accuracy standards without requiring manual intervention, improving reliability and streamlining operations.
Q: How much data can the instrument store, and how is data retrieved?
A: The internal memory securely holds up to 5,000 test records. Data can be retrieved easily through USB connectivity or sent directly to a connected printer for convenient record-keeping.
Q: What are the sample requirements for the TB-Feron FIA assay?
A: The system requires human whole blood specimens for analysis, which are processed automatically to deliver a qualitative measurement of IFN-.
Q: What storage and maintenance instructions should be followed?
A: To ensure optimal performance, store reagents and consumables at 2-8C and maintain the instrument in clean, stable environmental conditions. Follow manufacturer's guidelines for proper handling and maintenance to preserve shelf life and accuracy.
