Malaria Pf/PAN Antigen (RCT)

Malaria Antigen Card Test – Rapid & Accurate Malaria Detection

Product Overview

The Malaria Antigen Card Test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay designed for the qualitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pan) antigens in human whole blood. This one-step test provides quick, reliable results, enabling early diagnosis and effective treatment initiation. Suitable for point-of-care testing, clinical laboratories, and field diagnostics, it helps in malaria surveillance and case management.
