Biocard Malaria Pf / Pv Rapid Test Kit
Biocard Malaria Pf / Pv Rapid Test Kit provides fast, accurate detection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax antigens from a small blood sample. Easy to use, WHO-compliant, and delivers reliable results in ...
Overview
The Biocard Malaria Pf / Pv Rapid Test Kit is designed for the rapid detection of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) antigens in human whole blood. Using a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay, it delivers accurate, easy-to-read results in 20 minutes, enabling prompt diagnosis and informed treatment decisions. Early species-specific detection reduces the risk of severe complications and supports effective patient management.
