Description

Aplisol 50 Test 5 mL is a diagnostic product used for the tuberculin skin test (TST), which helps in detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infections. It contains purified protein derivative (PPD) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is injected into the skin to elicit an immune response. The size of the reaction helps to determine whether a person has been exposed to the TB bacteria.

This product is specifically formulated for diagnostic purposes and is supplied in 5 mL vials containing 50 tests per vial. It should be stored at a temperature of 2 to 8°C (36 to 46°F) and must be protected from light to preserve its potency and effectiveness. The appropriate storage conditions are crucial to prevent degradation and ensure accurate results.

Aplisol should be used within 30 days after opening the vial. Any remaining solution after this period should be discarded due to the potential for oxidation and loss of potency. The integrity of the vial and solution must be maintained to avoid inaccurate test results, which can lead to false negative or positive findings.
