Product details.

The Malaria Pf-HRP II / Pv-pLDH Antigen Card is a rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic test for P. falciparum histidine-rich protein II (HRP-II) and P. vivax specific pLDH in human whole blood. Separate Pf and Pv lines tell falciparum, vivax and mixed infections apart. Manufactured at Reckon’s Vadodara facility under ISO 13485:2016 quality management, and released against reference standards before dispatch.

Performance2 figures

Sensitivity: 100%: 32 of 32 P. falciparum and 45 of 45 P. vivax samples (in-house study of 292 samples against microscopy)
Specificity: 100%: 215 of 215 malaria-negative samples

Procedure at a glance5 steps

Clean the fingertip with an alcohol swab, let it dry, and prick it with a single-use lancet.
Collect 5 µl of blood with the capillary dropper and load it into sample well S.
Add exactly 3 drops (90 µl) of assay buffer to well A, letting each drop soak in.
After 5 minutes, add one more drop of buffer to clear the background.
Read at 20 minutes: C alone is negative; C and Pf is P. falciparum; C and Pv is P. vivax; C, Pf and Pv is a mixed infection. No C line means the test is invalid.
