Blood Collection Tube

Product Details:

The Qiagen QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus Blood Collection Tubes are integral components of the fourth-generation QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) assay, an advanced interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) designed for the detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). These tubes facilitate the collection and incubation of whole blood samples, enabling the measurement of cell-mediated immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antigens. The QFT-Plus assay incorporates innovative CD8+ T-cell technology, providing a comprehensive assessment of the immune response to TB infection.
