Accutest Malaria (50 Tests)

AccuTest Malaria Pf (HRP II) /Pv
Detection Test (HRP-II Pf/pLDH Pv)

AccuTest Malaria Pf(HRP II)/Pv is a rapid qualitative, chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of malaria infection in human blood sample indicating differential diagnosis between Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax species.

Principle:
AccuTest Malaria Pf (HRP II)/Pv test utilizes 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 addition of the buffer solution, the colored colloidal gold, anti-pLDH antibody and the anti-HRP-II antibody conjugate complexes with the lysed blood sample. The Malaria antigens get immobilized on the respective test lines on the nitrocellulose membrane which leads to the formation of red/purple colored band/s. The un-reacted conjugate and unbound complex if any moves further on the membrane and are subsequently immobilized 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.
