Malaria P.F / Pan Ag

The Malaria P.f. /Pan Rapid Test Cassette(Whole Blood) is a qualitative, membrane based immunoassay
for the detection of P.f., P.v., P.o. and P.m. antigens in whole blood. The membrane is pre-coated with
anti-HRP-II antibodies and anti-Aldolase antibodies. During testing, the whole blood specimen reacts
with the dye conjugate, which has been pre-coated on the test cassette. The mixture then migrates
upward on the membrane by capillary action, reacts with anti-Histidine-Rich Protein II (HRP-II) antibodies
on the membrane on P.f. Test Line region and with anti-Aldolase antibodies on the membrane on Pan
Line region. If the specimen contains HRP-II or Plasmodium-specific Aldolase or both, a colored line will
appear in P.f. line region or Pan line region or two colored lines will appear in P.f. line region and Pan line
region. The absence of the colored lines in P.f. line region or Pan line region indicates that the specimen
does not contain HRP-II and/or Plasmodium-specific Aldolase. To serve as a procedure control, a
colored line will always appear in the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has
been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
