Malaria is a serious parasitic disease characterized by fever, chills, and anemia and is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. There are four kinds of malaria that can infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum,P.vivax,P.ovale,and P.malariae.In humans, the parasites migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form,the merozoites.

  The One-Step Malaria pf(HRPⅡ)/pan(pLDH)Antigen Detection Test Device(Whole Blood) contains a membrane strip,which is pre-coated with two monoclonal antibodies as two separate lines dehydrogenase of Plasmodium species(P.falciparum,vivax,malariae,ovale).Conjugate pad is dispensed with monoclonal antibodies conjugated to colloidal gold,which are specific to P.falcparum histidine rich protein-2(Pf HRP-2)and Malaria pan(pLDH).

Directions for Use:

1. Add5μl of whole blood into sample well(A),the small well.

2. Add2-3 drops of assay buffer into developer well(B).

3. Readthe test result in 20 min

Interpretation of Results:

Positive: In addition to a pink colored control (C) band,one distinct pink colored bands will also appear in the test (T1orT2) region. Please consult your physician to perform a much more detailed exam.

Negative: Only one colored band appears on the control (C) region. No apparent band on the test ( T1orT2) region. Invalid: A total absence of color in both regions is an indication of procedure error and/or the test reagent has been deteriorated

Precautions:

For professional in vitro diagnostic use only,Do not use after expiration date. Do not eat,drink or smoke in the arer where the specimens or kits are handled. Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents.Observe established precoutions against mocrobiological hazards throughout testing and follow the standard procedures for proper disposal of specimens. Wear protective clothing such as laboratory coats,disposable gloves and eye protection when specimens are being tested. Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.
