Evaluation of the efficiency of the sample inactivation reagent in the Abbott real time MTB assay for inactivation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 53, No. 9, Year 2015

The Abbott RealTime MTB assay is a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA. The sample inactivation procedure used in the assay, consisting of one part sample treated with 3 parts inactivation reagent for 60 min, effectively reduced viscosity and inactivated M. tuberculosis in clinical specimens.
