Abbott Bioline Malaria Antigen Plasmodium Falciparum Rapid Test Kit – 25 Tests

The Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f Rapid Test Kit is a professional in-vitro diagnostic test designed for the rapid qualitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum malaria antigen in human whole blood. The test uses immunochromatographic lateral flow technology to detect Histidine-Rich Protein 2 (HRP2), a protein produced by Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria parasite responsible for many severe malaria infections. Designed for hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, clinics, primary healthcare centres and community malaria-screening programmes, the kit provides results in approximately 15 minutes without requiring specialized laboratory equipment. The Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f requires only 5 µL of whole blood, making it suitable for rapid point-of-care testing by trained healthcare professionals. The manufacturer reports a sensitivity of 99.7% and specificity of 99.5% under its specified evaluation conditions. The kit is WHO-prequalified and designed for storage at temperatures between 1°C and 40°C. Each standard kit contains 25 tests, providing an efficient malaria-screening solution for healthcare facilities across Nigeria and West Africa.
