Description
The DIAGNOS Malaria PF/PAN Rapid Test is a dual-antigen immunochromatographic RDT for the simultaneous detection and differential diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and all other Plasmodium species (Pan) in human whole blood, delivering reliable results in 15–20 minutes with no laboratory equipment required.
What Does It Detect?
This RDT targets two key malaria biomarkers in one test:
- HRP-2: specific to P. falciparum, the most lethal malaria species
- pLDH: detects all Pan-malaria species (P. vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae)
This allows healthcare workers to differentiate falciparum from non-falciparum malaria in a single step, enabling faster, more targeted treatment.
Key Features
- Results in 15–20 minutes with no lab equipment needed
- Dual-antigen detection of Pf (HRP-2) and Pan (pLDH) in one test
- High sensitivity and specificity across a wide range of parasite densities
- 5 µL whole blood sample (capillary or venous)
- Simple visual line-reading format
- Suitable for hospitals, clinics, and remote point-of-care settingsStorage & Shelf Life
Intended Users
For use by trained healthcare professionals, laboratory technologists, and community health workers in malaria-endemic settings. For in vitro diagnostic use only. Not intended for self-testing.
