What are Malaria Test Kits?
Malaria Test Kits are medical diagnostic tools that are used to detect the presence of the malaria parasite within a whole blood, plasma, or serum sample. The rapid diagnostic tests work by detecting antigens or antibodies associated with malaria infection, including by the parasite P. falciparum.
Rapid diagnostic kits require no high-cost equipment and can be utilized in locations where laboratories are unavailable. They also are easy to use and require minimal training or setup.
Results can be read within as little as 15 minutes, which speeds up life-saving treatment for patients. The malaria detection kits utilize immunographic assay technology. They are available in four types: Malaria Pf/Pv antibody test kits, Malaria Pf antigen test kits, Malaria Pf/Pv antigen test kits, and Malaria Pf/Pan antigen test kits.
AdvaCare Pharma is the supplier of Malaria Test Kits, which are manufactured in ISO and CE-certified facilities in India, China, and the USA. Every facility is regularly inspected to ensure they are compliant with healthcare standards for quality and safety.

Malaria Pf/Pv Antibody Test Kit
Malaria Pf/Pv Antibody Test Kit is a rapid testing kit used to detect and differentiate antibodies associated with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) in a sample of whole blood, serum, or plasma.
The malaria Pf/Pv antibody test kit is a cassette device, which utilizes a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay that requires minimal training and quickly displays results in 10-15 minutes.
Malaria Pf Antigen Test Kit
Malaria Pf Antigen Test Kit is a rapid testing kit used to qualitatively detect antigens associated with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) in a whole blood sample.
The malaria Pf antigen test kit is available as a cassette or strip. The test uses specific antibodies that react with the Pf antigen, producing visible test lines indicating a positive result. This test allows for rapid and accurate diagnosis of malaria infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum.
Malaria Pf/Pv Antigen Test Kit
Malaria Pf/Pv Antigen Test Kit is a rapid testing kit used to detect and differentiate antigens associated with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) in a specimen of whole blood.
The malaria Pf/Pv antigen test kit is available as a cassette device, which uses specific antibodies that react with the Pf/Pv antigen, producing visible test lines indicating a positive result.
Malaria Pf/Pan Antigen Test Kit
Malaria Pf/Pan Antigen Test Kit is a rapid testing kit used to detect and differentiate antigens associated with the malaria parasites Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and one that is found in all of P. vivax (Pv), P. ovale (Po), or P. malariae (Pm) in a sample of whole blood.
The malaria Pf/Pan antigen test kit is available as a cassette device, which will display visible test lines indicating a positive result.
Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma
A specimen of Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma is required for testing. To collect a sample, standard venipuncture or fingerstick techniques are used. For venipuncture, 2 drops of blood are collected, while for fingerstick, 50 μL of blood is obtained. Once collected, the specimen is transferred to the assigned area of the cassette using a capillary tube or dropper. In the case of serum or plasma samples, centrifugation is performed before transferring the specimen.
Whole Blood
A specimen of Whole Blood is required for testing. To collect a whole blood specimen, you can use standard venipuncture by collecting 2 drops of blood or fingerstick technique by obtaining 50 μL of blood. The collected blood specimen is then transferred to the assigned area of the cassette using a capillary tube or dropper. This ensures that the specimen is accurately placed on the cassette for further testing and analysis
Cassette
Cassette consists of a plastic box that contains a test strip inside. It has an area for sample placement and a window in which the lines will be displayed as positive, negative, or invalid test results.
The cassette offers a reliable and user-friendly tool for obtaining accurate and timely results.
Strip
Strip is a thin, plastic strip with a dedicated area for sample application and a reactive pad which displays a result in response to the presence or absence of the designated antibody or antigen.
The test strip utilizes a chromatographic immunoassay, which can qualitatively detect the presence of malaria in a blood, serum, or plasma specimen.

Uses
What are Malaria Test Kits used for?
They're used to detect antigens or antibodies due to the malaria parasite, which can aid in the diagnosis of active or past malaria infection.
How are Malaria Test Kits used?
1. A sample is collected. If necessary for the test, process the blood to obtain the plasma or serum. 2. Transfer the sample to the designated area using a pipette or dropper. 3. Wait the designated amount of time on the packaging. 4. Read the results after the color lines have developed.
How should unused Malaria Test Kits be stored?
The malaria test strips and cassettes should be kept in their original packaging until use. It's recommended to keep them in a dry and cool location between 2-30°C.
How should a Malaria Test Kit be disposed of?
Local regulations should be consulted before the disposal of any biohazardous waste. It's advised to tightly seal any used malaria test kits in a plastic bag and dispose of them in a designated biohazardous waste container.
FAQs
How do the Malaria Test Kits work?
The malaria test kit is a rapid immunochromatographic test. The test interacts with any antigen or antibodies in the sample and provides a straightforward visual indication of a positive, negative, or invalid result.
What is the difference between the different types of Malaria Test Kits?
Each of the malaria diagnostic test kits targets specific malaria species. The malaria Pf/Pv antibody test kit can detect antibodies associated with Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv). This test is unable to confirm an active infection, but it can confirm whether a person has been previously exposed to certain strains of malaria.
The malaria Pf antigen test kit is designed to detect the presence of antigens of the Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) parasite, which can aid in the diagnosis of active malaria infection.
The malaria Pf/Pv antigen test kit can detect antigens due to both Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) parasites, which can be useful in regions in which both parasites are prevalent.
The malaria Pf/Pan antigen test kit is able to detect antigens produced by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and also pan-malarial antigens. Pan-malarial antigens are present in many species of malaria parasites, including Plasmodium vivax (Pv), Plasmodium ovale (Po), and Plasmodium malariae (Pm). This test kit is useful for detecting a wider range of malaria infections.
Which type of test kit should be used?
It is important to consider the prevalence of malaria species in a particular region when selecting a test kit.
