Organization Description: |
Revvity is an international developer and provider of end-to-end solutions designed to help scientists, researchers and clinicians solve the world’s greatest health challenges. As part of this commitment, Revvity has a dedicated TB business unit, Oxford Immunotec, tasked with developing novel TB diagnostics, as well as manufacturing and selling the T-SPOT®.TB test, and World Health Organization recommended diagnostic test for the detection of TB infection.
Oxford Immunotec has sold over 20 million T-SPOT.TB tests in over 50 countries worldwide since its launch in 2002. It is the only ELISPOT-based test for TB infection to gain global regulatory approvals, including approval in the US, China and Japan. The T-SPOT.TB test is recommended by the WHO, and included on the WHO Model List of Essential In Vitro Diagnostics. In addition, Oxford Immunotec has a development team of 30 people, all dedicated to improving existing TB diagnostics, and developing novel TB diagnostics. Oxford Immunotec also has a manufacturing and quality team of nearly 50 people, dedicated to producing quality-controlled TB test kits that are used all over the world. Finally, Oxford Immunotec has Regulatory and Clinical teams committed to conducting clinical studies and gaining regulatory approvals for TB diagnostics.
In terms of TB control, we are committed to educating and supporting countries in implementing and expanding latent TB screening, with the goal of supporting the eradication of TB. Further to this, we are currently developing innovative products to help solve the greatest clinical unmet needs within the TB space, for example, we have a focus on developing tests for active TB that do not require a sputum sample.

Contribution |
Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below: |
TB Care Delivery: Annual World TB Day social media campaigns to encourage early detection and treatment of TB infection. Educating and supporting countries in developing plans to eradicate TB by offering tests for TB infection. Currently supporting the Maldives with their national strategy to end TB by 2025 by offering the T-SPOT.TB test to detect TB infection in high-risk groups.
New Diagnostics: Developing new diagnostics with a focus on non-sputum based diagnostics to meet critical unmet need within the TB space.
New TB Vaccines: We have a business unit called Certimmune which supports vaccine developers with T-cell based testing to help determine the efficacy of vaccines. We are hoping to partner with TB vaccine developers to provide valuable T cell based information, following the success of this approach with the COVID-19 vaccine development.
Research: We support researchers by providing free of charge kits and scientific support for studies focusing on TB infection detection. We also provide educational grants for relevant congress attendance on an ad hoc application based basis. |
