Par Sterile Products Aplisol Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative, specifically Diluted 1 mL (10 Tests), is used to perform the Mantoux tuberculin skin test for detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infections. Administered intradermally, Aplisol triggers an immune response in individuals previously sensitized to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Health professionals evaluate the injection site 48 to 72 hours later for any induration or swelling, which may indicate TB exposure. This test is crucial for screening vulnerable populations, aiding in early TB detection, monitoring, and potential treatment.

Aplisol Test is a simple modified complement fixation test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens in human body. Aplisol Test (also known as Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative or PPD) is made up of a solution and MTB germs which can attach to antibodies present in the person's body to form a foam when injected beneath the person's skin. If the person has been in contact with MTB, he/she produces antibodies against MTB and so the Aplisol Test would check for this and it provides results in two days. In other words, Aplisol Test functions as an immunological reagent and detects antibody/antigen reactions in people to test whether an individual is infected with or has been exposed to certain disease-causing bacteria. It is a highlyspecifi test which can beochecked for infections like Tuberculosis and so is most widely used Aplisol Test around the world.
