CBNAAT Test

Description

The CBNAAT (Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool primarily used for detecting tuberculosis (TB) and rifampicin resistance. This rapid molecular test can provide results in just a few hours, significantly faster than traditional culture methods. It’s highly sensitive and specific, capable of detecting even small amounts of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in sputum samples. The test simultaneously checks for rifampicin resistance, which is crucial for identifying multi-drug resistant TB. This quick turnaround time allows for prompt diagnosis and early initiation of appropriate treatment, improving patient outcomes and helping to control the spread of TB.
