Malaria P.f/P.v Antigen Combination Test Kit (Whole Blood)

Product Overview: The Malaria P.f/P.v Antigen Combination Test Kit (Whole Blood) is a crucial tool in the battle against malaria. Designed for the in vitro qualitative detection of circulating antigens of Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) and Plasmodium vivax (P.v) in whole blood, this test kit provides rapid and accurate results.The Malaria P.f/P.v Antigen Combination Test Kit leverages advanced immunological diagnostic methods, ensuring effective detection and management of malaria infections.

Key Features:

Intended Use: Designed for qualitative detection of circulating antigens of P. falciparum and P. vivax in whole blood.

Rapid and Convenient: Utilizes colloidal gold-immunochromatography assay for quick results within 15-20 minutes.

Minimal Equipment Required: Simple procedure that can be performed by minimally skilled personnel, enhancing accessibility in diverse settings.

Testing Procedure:

1. Equilibrate the test device, diluent, and specimen to room temperature (15-30°C).

2. Remove the test device from its sealed pouch and place it on a clean, flat surface.

3. Label the device with the specimen number.

4. Using a disposable dropper, transfer 1 drop of whole blood (10-30μl) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, and immediately add 2 drops of diluent (70-100μl). Ensure no air bubbles are present.

5. Set a timer and read the results in 15 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes to avoid confusion.

RESULTS

• Positive：A red line appears at the position of the quality control line (C line) and the detection line (T1 line), which indicates the test result of circulating antigens of P. falciparum (P.f) in the sample was positive.  A red line appears at the position of the quality control line (C line) and the detection line (T2 line), which indicates the test result of circulating antigens of P. vivax (P.v.) in the sample was positive.  A red line appears at the position of the quality control line (C line) and the detection lines (T1 line and T2 line), which indicates the test result of circulating antigens of P. falciparum (P.f), P. vivax (P.v.) in the sample was positive.

• Negative: If only the C band is present, indicates that no circulating antigens of P. falciparum (P.f), P. vivax (P.v) is detected in the specimen.  The result is negative.

• Invalid: The control line fails to appear. Review the procedure and repeat the procedure with a new kit.  If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.

Summary and Explanation: 

Malaria remains 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths annually. Traditional microscopy, while accurate, is labor-intensive and dependent on the skill of the microscopist. The Malaria P.f/P.v Antigen Combination Test Kit offers a rapid, user-friendly alternative for detecting malaria antigens, particularly in resource-limited settings.

Choose our Malaria P.f/P.v Antigen Combination Test Kit (Whole Blood) for a reliable, efficient, and effective solution in the fight against malaria.
