BBL Taxo INH Test Control is used as a positive control for INH Test Strips.
INH test strips were developed by Kilburn et al.1 to monitor patients on isoniazid therapy on an outpatient basis. The test aids physicians in determining whether their patients are taking the prescribed medication. The reagent-impregnated paper strip detects the presence of isonicotinic acid in the patient's urine. The strip method is a modification of Kilburn and Kubica's strip procedure for detecting niacin produced by M. tuberculosis.2
