Paramax-3

Rapid test for the detection of Malaria Pan / Pv / Pf

Application

Paramax-3 is used for the detection of P.falciparum specific histidine rich protein-2 (Pf HRP-2), P.vivax specific pLDH and pan malaria specific pLDH, for the specific detection of P. falciparum and P.vivax malaria, differentiation of other malarial species and for the follow up of antimalarial therapy.

Principle

Self performing, rapid, qualitative immunoassay, lateral flow device

Sensitivity

100% in correlation with microscopy

Specificity

100% specific to P.falciparum HRP 2, P.vivax specific pLDH and pan specific pLDH

Reagents

Membrane assembly predispensed with:

  • Agglutinating sera for Pf. HRP-2 colloidal gold conjugate,
