PBD Biotech has developed Actiphage®, the world’s first, rapid, sensitive blood test for tuberculosis (TB). It detects live mycobacteria, which are responsible for diseases such as human TB, bovine TB and Johne’s disease. Validation trials are underway in the UK and internationally - in hospitals, on farms, with national institutions and government departments. Based on cutting-edge science, the Actiphage test delivers accurate results in 6 hours enabling disease containment and control. It can also be used to test milk, providing quality assurance for dairy products such as artisan cheeses and baby milk.
