The TB Quantiferon® Test — Basic is a single‑marker blood assay that measures interferon‑gamma release to help rule out active tuberculosis infection. It requires only one venous blood sample and provides a quick screening tool for occupational health settings.
About this treatment
Using a venous blood draw, this test evaluates the Interferon‑Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) response, which may indicate whether a person has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The result helps occupational health teams decide if further investigation is needed, especially in high‑risk work environments. Results are typically available within 2‑3 business days and include a concise laboratory report. No fasting is required, making it convenient for on‑site testing.
