The Malaria P.f. /P.v. Rapid Test Cassette(Whole Blood) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of P.f. andP.v. antigens in whole blood. The membrane is pre-coated with anti-HRP-II antibodies and anti-pLDH 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-pLDH antibodies on the membrane on P.v. Line region.

If the specimen contains HRP-II or Plasmodium-specific P. vivaxLDH or both, a colored line will appear in P.f. line region or P.v. line region or two colored lines will appear in P.f. line region and P.v. line region. The absence of the colored lines in P.f. line region or P.v. line region indicates that the specimen does not contain HRP-II and/or Plasmodium-specific P. vivaxLDH. 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.
