Oxford Immunotec Global PLC announced that the Company’s T-Cell Select reagent kit has been approved for use by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, South Korea. The T-Cell Select reagent kit is an immune cell separation reagent. It is used to automate the preparation of the cells required to run the Company’s T-SPOT.TB test, for diagnosis of TB infection, from patient blood samples. The T-Cell Select reagent kit streamlines and simplifies the T-SPOT.TB test laboratory protocol. Automation makes implementation of the T-SPOT.TB test easy, reducing hands-on time and saving on labour costs. It also allows for higher throughput and easier integration of the T-SPOT.TB test into the laboratory workflow. The T-Cell Select reagent kit also has additional advantages. It allows samples to be stored for up to 54 hours at room temperature before use, enabling easy centralisation of sample processing and simplifying sample logistics. This also gives laboratories more flexibility as it allows time for sample batching.
