The Truenat Assay Technology works on Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
The key steps include:
- Collection of specimens from a presumptive TB/known TB Patient (for UDST).
- Liquefaction and lysis of specimen using the Trueprep AUTO MTB sample pre-treatment pack (20 minutes)
- Extraction and purification of DNA using Trueprep AUTO v2 Universal Cartridge-based sample prep kit and Trueprep AUTO v2 Universal Cartridge-based sample prep device (20 minutes)
- Amplification of extracted DNA by the Truelab Real-time micro-PCR analyzer using freeze dry PCR reagent in microtubes on a Truenat MTB chip (35 minutes)
- DNA from positive test results is tested using Truenat MTB RIF Dx chip as a reflex test (55 minutes)
The process flow from sample to result for Truenat Assay Technology is described in the figure below.
