SCREEN TEST MALARIA Malaria P.F. /P.V. Rapid Test REF: SC-0661-25 The Malaria P.f./P.v. (Whole Blood) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative identification of two types of Plasmodium circulating in whole blood: falciparum (P.f.) and vivax (P.v.). The Malaria P.f./P.v. (Whole Blood) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of P.f. and P.v. in whole blood. The membrane is pre-coated with anti-HRP-II and anti-pLDH antibodies. During testing, the whole blood sample reacts with the colored conjugate with which the test media was pre-coated. The compound then migrates upward on the membrane by capillary action and reacts with anti-Histidine Rich Protein II (HRP-II) antibodies on the membrane in the test line area P.f. and with anti-pLDH antibodies in the P.v test line region. If the sample contains Plasmodium-specific HRP-II or P. vivaxLDH or both, a colored line appears in the P-f- or P.v test line region. or both. The absence of colored lines in the P.f. o P.v. indicates that the sample does not contain HRP-II and / or Plasmodium-specific P.vivaxLDH.
