The  Malari-Chek P.f/P.v rapid test is a chromatographic immuno assay  for qualitative determination of antibodies of malarial parasites (P.f/P.v) in human serum / plasma / whole blood.  Nitro cellulose membrane of  the test device is immobilized with highly specific recombinant antigens (Merozoite Surface Protein: MSP) of Pf at test line zone '1' and recombinant antigens (MSP) of Pv at test line zone '2'. Human serum / plasma / whole blood containing malarial antibodies is allowed to react with the recombinant Pf/Pv antigenscoupled gold conjugate followed by reaction with recombinant antigens immobilized at test line zones. Appearance of pink/purple visible line (s) in result window at the test line zone (1&2) in addition to pink / purple line C at control line zone, indicates positive test result.  Appearance of pink / purple line at control line zone "C" validates the procedure. Absence of any band in the test regions suggest a negative result.
