FDA has approved a Qiagen PMA supplement for QuantiFeron-TB Gold Plus, a fourth-generation blood test for detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infection. The device adds the company’s proprietary CD8+ technology to “offer the ability to capture a much broader picture of an individual’s immune response to TB infection,” the company says. It also features a standard single-tube blood collection option that allows blood samples to be processed up to 53 hours after venipuncture without affecting the accuracy of the test.
