The SD Bioline is a solid-phase immunochromatographic assay that is inexpensive, easy to use and readily available. They are easily stored at room temperature and allow the result interpretation within 15 -20 minutes.

Interpretation of Result: 

 

1) If a purple-red line appears in the Test area [T] and the control area [C], then the culture/strain is positive for the presence of the MPT64 antigens. 

 

2) If a purple-red line appears in the Control area [C] but not in the Test area [T], then the culture/strain is negative for the presence of the MPT64 antigens. 

 

3) If a purple-red line appears only in the Test area [T] and not in the Control area [C], then the test is invalid.
