[INTENDED USE] The Malaria Antigen P.f/P.v Rapid Test Cassette is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) antigen and P. vivax, P. ovale,or P. malariae (P.v) antigen in human Whole Blood. It provides an aid in the diagnosis of infection with Malaria.
[SUMMARY] Malaria is caused by a protozoan which invades human red blood cells.Malaria is one of the world's most prevalent diseases. According to the WHO, the worldwide prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths each year. Most of these victims are infants and young children. Over half of the world's population lives in malarious areas. The Malaria Antigen P.f/P.v Rapid Test Cassettle detect antigens to Malaria infection in human Whole Blood. It is a noninvasive method, and does not use radioactive isotopes. The test is easy to perform and requires no specialized equipment. Visual interpretation provides an accurate qualitative result. It is a useful on-site aid in the diagnosis of Malaria infection.
[SPECIMEN] ●The test can be used to test human Whole Blood. ●Collect blood specimen (containing EDTA, citrate or heparin) by vein puncture following standard laboratory procedures. ●Store specimens at 2-8℃ (36-46℉) if not tested immediately. Store specimens at 2-8℃ up to 7 days. The specimens should be frozen at -20℃ (-4℉) for longer storage. ●Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Prior to testing. bring frozen specimens to room temperature slowly and mix gently.
[TEST PROCEDURE] Allow the test device and specimens to equilibrate to temperature (15-30℃ or 59-86℉) prior to testing. 1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch. 2. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 full drop (approx. 10μl) of specimen to the "S" well of the test cassette, add 3 drops of Sample buffer to the "s" well after the specimen is added, and then begin timing. 3. Wait for colored lines to appear. Interpret the test results in 15 minutes. Do not read results after 20 minutes.
Notes: Applying sufficient amount of specimen is essential for a valid test result. If migration (he wetting of membrane)ls nol observed in the test window after one minute, add one more drop of buffer to the specimen well.
[INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS] Positive: Control line and at least one test line appear on the membrane. The appearance of P.f test line indicates the P.f positive. The appearance of P.v test line indicates the P.v positive. And if both P.v and P.f line appear, it indicates that the presence of both P.f and P.v positive. Negative: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T). This negative result indicates the absence of P.f antigen and P.v antigen. Invalid: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test cassette. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
