PARAMAX-3® Rapid Test for Malaria (Pan/Pv/Pf) is a self-performing, qualitative lateral flow immunoassay designed for:

• Specific detection of Plasmodium falciparum (HRP-2)

• Specific detection of Plasmodium vivax (pLDH)

• Detection of Pan malaria pLDH antigens for other species (P. ovale, P. malariae)

• Differentiation between Pf, Pv, and other malarial infections

• Follow-up of antimalarial therapy

This test is a reliable diagnostic tool for clinical laboratories, hospitals, and field use.

Principle:
A membrane-based immunochromatographic assay using colloidal gold conjugates that bind to malaria-specific antigens, ensuring rapid and accurate detection.

Performance:

• Sensitivity: 100% (correlated with microscopy)

• Specificity: 100% (Pf HRP-2, Pv pLDH & Pan pLDH)

• Assay time: 20 minutes

Reagents & Components:

• Membrane assembly pre-dispensed with:

  • Agglutinating sera for Pf HRP-2, Pv pLDH, Pan pLDH (colloidal gold conjugates)

  • Rabbit globulin colloidal gold conjugate

• Agglutinating sera at regions:

  • Pf region → Pf HRP-2

  • Pv region → Pv pLDH

  • Pan region → Pan malaria pLDH

  • Control region → Rabbit globulin

• Clearing buffer

• Individually pouched device

• 5 µl sample loop

Storage & Stability:

• Store at 4–30°C

• Shelf life: 2 years
