Product Introduction

The fluorecare® Malaria Pf/Pv Antigen Test Kit developed by Microprofit is a qualitative immunofluorescence assay (FIA) designed for the accurate detection of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) antigens in human whole blood. As part of the fluorecare® POCT diagnostic platform, this test kit enables rapid and reliable analysis, supporting efficient clinical decision-making in laboratories, hospitals, and point-of-care testing environments.

Detection Principle

The fluorecare® Malaria Pf/Pv test kit utilizes fluorescence immunochromatographic assay technology. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax antigens in the sample bind with fluorescent-labeled specific antibodies to form antigen-antibody complexes, which are captured on the respective test lines. The fluorescence signal is detected and analyzed by the fluorecare® immunofluorescence analyzer to provide a qualitative result distinguishing Pf and Pv infection.

Clinical Applications

• Rapid detection of Plasmodium falciparum infection

• Rapid detection of Plasmodium vivax infection

• Differentiation between Pf and Pv malaria species

• Support for malaria diagnosis in endemic and field settings

• Clinical laboratory and decentralized POCT testing
