T-SPOT.TB 혈액 검사의 장점

T-SPOT.TB 검사는 세포 수와 배양 조건 모두에 대해 유일하게 전 세계적으로 이용 가능한 표준화된 IGRA입니다. 이 검사는 세포 수를 표준화하고 검사 결과에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있는 혈청 인자를 제거해 결핵 감염에 대한 가장 민감하고 특이적인 검사입니다.2,3 면역 억제를 포함한 모든 환자 그룹에서 결핵 감염을 빠르고 안정적으로 진단하고 치료할 수 있습니다.4

T-SPOT.TB 검사의 장점

  1. Accurate across patient populations4

  2. 일관된 결과6,7

    • 민감도: 98.8 %
    • 특이도:> 99.1
  3. 승인된 borderline 구역으로 인해 결과 컷오프에 대해 검사 정확도가 높음 – 부적절한 치료 방지에 도움을 줌2,5


T-SPOT.TB 검사 자동화2,3

CE 마크가 있는 T-Cell Select 시약 키트를 사용하여 T-SPOT.TB 검사를 자동화할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 업무 절차가 간소화되고, 검체 물류 등이 단순해지며, 검사자의 시간을 절약할 수 있습니다.


T-SPOT.TB 검사의 검체 안정성 향상!

T-Cell Xtend 시약은 T-SPOT.TB 검사를 시행하기 직전에 검사실의 혈액 검체에 추가되는 항체 복합체로, 검사의 정확성에 영향을 주지 않고 정맥 채혈 후 최대 32 시간까지 혈액 검체를 처리할 수 있습니다8

이제 CE 마크가 있는 T-Cell Select 시약 키트를 사용하여 T-SPOT.TB 검사를 자동화할 수 있습니다. T-Cell Select 시약 키트를 사용하면 T-SPOT.TB 검사용 검체 채혈후 최대 54 시간까지 처리할 수 있습니다. 정맥 채혈 후 검사실에서 검체 처리까지 2일이 넘는 시간입니다.
