Dual Antigen Detection for Accurate Malaria DiagnosisThis combo card test detects both HRP2 antigens specific to P. falciparum and pan-malarial pLDH antigens present in all malaria species. By offering two distinct markers, the kit supports precise malaria detection, allowing healthcare providers to identify both severe and non-severe cases efficiently and initiate timely treatment.
Rapid and Reliable Results at the Point-of-CareDesigned for same-day diagnostics, this malaria test kit delivers results in just 15 minutes using a simple, one-step procedure. Its user-friendly plastic cassette format with a visual display makes it ideal for both clinical environments and remote field settings, ensuring rapid response during malaria outbreaks or screening programs.
FAQ's of FIRST RESPONSE Malaria Ag. pLDH HRP2 Combo Card Test:
Q: How does the FIRST RESPONSE Malaria Ag. pLDH HRP2 Combo Card Test work?
A: The test uses a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay to detect malaria antigens in a small blood sample. It identifies HRP2 antigen for P. falciparum and pan-LDH for all Plasmodium species, providing qualitative results within 15 minutes.
Q: What type of sample is needed to perform this malaria test?
A: You can use whole blood obtained either from a finger-prick or venipuncture. The sample is then applied directly to the test cassette for analysis.
Q: When should I use the FIRST RESPONSE Combo Card Test?
A: This test is ideal for immediate malaria diagnosis during initial patient evaluation, particularly in hospitals or field settings where rapid results are essential for clinical decision-making.
Q: Where can this malaria test be used effectively?
A: It is suitable for hospitals, clinics, and field diagnostic settings, especially in malaria-endemic regions. Its portability and lack of need for specialized equipment make it highly adaptable to different diagnostic environments.
Q: What are the benefits of using this rapid malaria test kit?
A: Key benefits include high sensitivity and specificity (both >99%), rapid results, ease of use, dual antigen detection for comprehensive malaria screening, and suitability for both centralized and decentralized testing locations.
Q: How should the test kits be stored for optimal performance?
A: Store the kits at temperatures between 2C and 30C, away from direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the tests remain effective for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What indicates a valid and effective test result in this kit?
A: A colored control line on the cassette window confirms that the test procedure worked correctly. The presence or absence of test lines for HRP2 and pan-LDH antigens determines whether the sample is positive or negative for malaria.
