and is used for the intradermal testing of nonhuman primates for the presence
of tuberculosis. Synbiotics currently distributes the only product for
TB testing of non-human primates approved by the USDA/CDC/NIH. Within
the United States, distribution is limited to locations or customers which

TUBERCULIN OT
TUBERCULIN OT mammalian, human isolates is used to intradermally test nonhuman primates for mammalian tuberculosis. This product meets USDA requirements for purity,
