Description
Malaria Antigen Rapid Test Kit
Detect malaria quickly and reliably with the Malaria Antigen Rapid Test Kit, a simple, high-sensitivity diagnostic tool for detecting Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax antigens in whole blood, serum, or plasma samples. This kit is designed for in vitro, point-of-care testing — no complex lab equipment is needed — and provides clear results in just 10–15 minutes.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual-Species Detection: Specifically targets antigens from Plasmodium falciparum (P.f.) and Plasmodium vivax (P.v.), giving you more comprehensive malaria screening.
-
Simple, Rapid Testing: Designed for fast and accurate diagnosis — results are visual and straightforward, with minimal training required.
-
Point-of-Care Use: Requires no specialized lab infrastructure, making it ideal for remote clinics, field use, or resource-limited settings.
-
High Sensitivity & Accuracy: Despite the small, user-friendly format, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can reliably detect malaria antigens in symptomatic patients.
-
Minimal Sample Needed: Uses a drop of whole blood (finger-prick), serum, or plasma for testing — making it minimally invasive.
-
Low Equipment Requirement: Comes with all necessary components; only a buffer and test cassette are needed — no microscope, no centrifuge.
-
Quick Interpretation: After applying the sample and buffer, read the result after about 10–15 minutes. A control line confirms the test worked; a test line indicates antigen presence.
Reading the results
Positive: two coloured lines appear, one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). Any shade of colour in the test region should be read as positive: the line intensity varies with the concentration of malaria antigen in the sample.
Negative: one coloured line appears in the control region (C) and no line appears in the test region (T).
Invalid: the control line does not appear. Insufficient sample volume or an incorrect procedure are the most likely causes. Review the instructions and repeat with a new test. If the problem persists, stop using the kit and contact Famka.
Important
Any positive result should be addressed and treated by a Health care professional.
