Pre-analytical Solutions To a Global Need
Every year there are 8.8 million new active TB cases and nearly 5,000 deaths every day1. A key challenge for the health community is to effectively diagnose patients quickly and accurately so that human suffering and the spread of disease is stopped and valuable resources are not wasted on misdiagnosis.
Alpha-Tec Systems' mycobacteriology pre-analytical products dramatically improve the ability of laboratories to effectively recover accurate AFB specimens and reduce the occurance of contaminated patient specimen samples and the need for reprocessing due to false negative results.
