TUBEX\u00ae TF<\/h6>\n

Rapid Typhoid Detection.<\/h1>\n

IDL Diagnostics TUBEX\u00ae TF is a rapid and sensitive in vitro diagnostic test for the detection of acute typhoid fever, a disease caused by Salmonella<\/em> typhi.<\/h5>\n

TUBEX\u00ae TF<\/h3>\n

TUBEX\u00ae TF can easily be performed in any laboratory or field setting, and with a result within 10 minutes. A positive TUBEX\u00ae TF result, together with typical clinical symptoms, is a strong indication of acute typhoid fever.<\/p>\n

The test is a semiquantitative assay based on IMBI\u00ae technology (Inhibition Magnetic Binding Immunoassay), a simple assay technology based on visual interpretation.<\/p>\n

A complement product to TUBEX\u00ae TF is<\/span> TUBEX\u00ae TF Wash which is recommended to be used for the analysis of colored serum samples.<\/p>\n

IDL Biotech is the legal manufacturer of TUBEX\u00ae TF and TUBEX\u00ae TF Wash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clinical evaluation<\/h3>\n

In a comparative study in the Philippines, Kawano and co-workers evaluated four antibody detection tests for typhoid fever. The sensitivity of TUBEX\u00ae TF was 95% at a specificity of 80%. In this study TUBEX\u00ae TF performed best among other analysed tests. TUBEX\u00ae TF has been clinically evaluated on more than 5000 patients in different endemic settings, showing consistent performance across multiple continents. \u00a0<\/p>\n
