Malaria
●Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite. The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. People who have malaria usually feel very sick with a high fever and shaking chills.
●While the disease is uncommon in temperate climates, malaria is still common in tropical and subtropical countries. Each year nearly 290 million people are infected with malaria, and more than 400,000 people die of the disease.

Malaria Test Kit FAQs
What is the principle of Malaria Rapid Test?
A rapid test for the qualitative detection of Malaria pf and pv antigen in human blood sample. The Malaria pf (HRP II) / pv (LDH) Antigen Test contains a membrane strip, which is pre-coated with two monoclonal antibodies as two separate lines across a test strip. One monoclonal antibody(test line 1) is specific to the P. falciparum histidine rich protein-2 (PfHRP-2) and another monoclonal antibody (test line 2) is specific to the lactate dehydrogenase of the P. vivax species (pvLDH). Conjugate pad is dispensed with monoclonal antibodies conjugated to colloidal gold, which are specific to P. falciparum histidine rich protein-2 (PfHRP-2) and specific to the lactate dehydrogenase of P. vivax. Therefore, the antigen of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax can be differentially detected. For additional details please refer to the instructions for use.
How to use this test?
●Ensure specimen and test kits are brought to room temperature before testing. Ensure the blood specimen is mixed well.
●Open the foil wrapped pouch and remove the cassette. Use the test as soon as possible or within one hour of opening.
●Transfer the whole blood specimen to the blood collection tube using a pipette or dropper.
●Read the results at 10 minutes once the coloured line(s) have appeared. Results read after 20 minutes are considered invalid.
