New Tongue-Swab TB Test Could Help Eradicate The Disease, WHO Says
The World Health Organization has endorsed a new near‑point‑of‑care molecular test that uses a simple tongue swab to detect tuberculosis in under an hour. Developed by PlusLife on its MiniDock platform, the device costs up to 90% less than GeneXpert and its cartridges are priced at $3.60 each. While its sensitivity is about 80% of traditional sputum cultures, the test is easier to administer, especially for children, HIV‑positive patients, and those unable to produce sputum. Funding from the Gates Foundation aims to accelerate deployment in high‑burden, low‑resource settings.
