Intended use advantage mal card is rapid and, A visual sensitive assay designed for immunological evaluation of the qualitative diagnosis of p. Falciparum and other plasmodium species p. Vivax/ p. Malariae/ p. Ovale/ p. Falciparum based on pldh antigen present in humans whole blood. Salient features see through, Infection free device based on pldh antigen malaria parasite in whole blood excellent sensitivity & specificity as per who malaria rdts evaluation. Increased longevity of 30 months at 4, 30 c. Easy to interpret colour bands results within 20 minutes. Principle advantage mal card is an immunoassay derived from the sandwich principle . The conjugate contains colloidal gold conjugated to monoclonal anti, Pan specific pldh plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase antibody. The test uses monoclonal anti, Pf pldh antibody test line f & monoclonal anti, Pan specific pldh antibody test line p immobilized on a nitrocellulose strip. The test sample is mixed with the device. On addition of the red, Assay buffer corpuscles get lysed. If the sample contains p. Falciparum or p. Vivax/p. Malariae/p. Ovale, The colloidal gold conjugate complexes the p. F specific pldh/pan specific pldh in the lysed sample. This complex migrates through the nitrocellulose strip by capillary action. When the complex meets the line of the corresponding immobilized antibody, The complex is trapped forming a purplish pink band which confirms a reactive test result. Absence of a coloured band within the examination region indicates a negative test result. To serve as a procedural control an additional line of anti, Mouse antibody has been immobilized on the strip as control.
