Malaria
 
Immunochromatographic test format for qualitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum in whole blood
- An antigen capture assay that detects
P.falciparum specific Histidine-Rich-Protein II (PfHRPII),
a soluble protein contained in and released from parasitised
RBCs
- Highly sensitive (98%) and specific (99%)
- Rapid, visual qualitative immunoassay with in-built control line
- Does not cross react with any other species of malaria
- Eliminates strenuous and time consuming microscopic examination
- stable upto 40o C, specially designed to be used in tropical conditions
- Results in 15 minutes
- A useful device for Point of Care Testing as well as epidemiological studies in remote areas. All the components & accessories required to perform test are included in the kit
