Question 1

At which stage of malaria infection can this test detect infection?

Accepted Answer

This test detects malaria during the erythrocytic stage, when Plasmodium falciparum or P. vivax parasites multiply inside red blood cells and produce detectable antigens in whole blood.

Question 2

What sample types are compatible with this test kit?

Accepted Answer

MERISCREEN™ Malaria Pf/Pv Ag is designed exclusively for use with human whole blood samples, as malaria parasites reside and multiply within red blood cells.

Question 3

How can testing errors be avoided while using this kit?

Accepted Answer

Use only the buffer supplied with the kit, strictly add 5 µL of whole blood to the sample well, and dispense buffer into the buffer well. Follow the test procedure and reading time precisely.

Question 4

How long does it take to obtain test results?

Accepted Answer

Test results should be interpreted at 20 minutes after adding the buffer. Results read after 30 minutes are considered invalid and should not be used for clinical decision-making.

Question 5

Can this test differentiate between Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax infections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The test uses species-specific antigens to differentiate P. falciparum and P. vivax, enabling accurate identification of mono-infection or mixed infection in whole blood samples.
