Accu Test Malaria Pf (HRPII)/Pv Test Kit

Accu Test Malaria Pf (HRPII)/Pv Test Kit is a rapid qualitative, chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of malaria infection in human blood samples indicating differential diagnosis between Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax species.

Uses:

• This kit is used for the detection of malaria infection in human blood.

Product Specifications and Features:

• AccuTest Malaria Pf (HRP II)/Pv test utilises the principle of immuno-chromatography

• It has the test strip coated with Monoclonal Anti-pLDH antibodies (test line Pv) specific to the lactate dehydrogenase of P.vivax species and the other (test line Pf) with Monoclonal Anti-HRP-II which is specific to the Histidine Rich Protein-II of P.falciparum

• As the test sample flows through the membrane assembly of the device after the addition of the buffer solution, the coloured colloidal gold, anti-pLDH antibody and anti-HRP-II antibody conjugate complexes with the lysed blood sample

• The Malaria antigens get immobilised on the respective test lines on the nitrocellulose membrane, which leads to the formation of red/purple coloured band/s

• The un-reacted conjugate and unbound complex, if any, moves further on the membrane and are subsequently immobilised at the control “C” region, forming a red/purple band

• This control band serves to validate the test performance and should always appear

• This test is intended for professional use and must be used by trained personnel
