APOPO's HeroRATs are trained to save lives in Tanzania by detecting tuberculosis (TB) in human sputum samples. On average, a lab technician can process 40 samples per day - a HeroRAT will screen the sample quantity of samples in just 7 minutes. Each week, APOPO's detection rats identify 10-15 new cases of TB, previously missed by traditional diagnostic methods.
