Also Known As:
The GeneXpert (CBNAAT – Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) is a molecular test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis — the bacteria that cause TB — and to identify rifampicin resistance, an important marker of drug-resistant TB.
It works by using real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to detect TB bacterial DNA and mutations linked to drug resistance, all in a single automated cartridge-based system.
Detects TB DNA directly from samples like Sputum, Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), Pleural fluid, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Lymph node aspirate / tissue biopsy, Urine but not in blood or a specimen having blood.This test is highly specific and sensitive.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
