INTENDED USE PARACHECK – Pf® is an invitro, rapid, qualitative, two site sandwich immunoassay for the determination of P. falciparum specific histidine rich protein – 2 (Pf. HRP-2) in whole blood for the diagnosis of falciparum malaria in individuals with signs and symptoms consistent with malaria infection.

Paracheck Pf is a monospecific RDT detecting P. falciparum HRP-2 antigens in blood specimens. However, Paracheck Pf has a disadvantage of not differentiating viable antigens from dead parasite antigens.

At a cost of c. US $1.00, the Paracheck-PfR test, based on the detection of the P. falciparum specific HRP-2 protein, is a reliable, easy to use and affordable tool for the diagnosis of P. falciparum malaria.

The PARACHECK 2 Kit is a solid phase, indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect antibodies to M. paratuberculosis in animal sera and milk of cattle, sheep, and goats. The PARACHECK 2 procedure for 96 determinations (including controls) takes approximately 80 min and consists of …

2007年5月16日 · An assessment of the accuracy of Paracheck Pf®, a malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) detecting histidine rich protein 2 was undertaken amongst children aged 6–59 months in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This RDT assessment occurred in conjunction with an ACT efficacy trial.

How to use a rapid diagnostic test (RDT): A guide for training at a village and clinic level (Modified for training in the use of the Paracheck Pf Device Rapid Test for P. falciparum Malaria (Ver.3) (30301025). 2010.

2014年3月17日 · Paracheck® (Orchid Biomedical Systems, Goa, India), which detects a P. falciparum -specific HRP-2 protein (PfHRP-2), was used to detect infected children. This test requires approximately 5 μl of blood and is readable after 15 minutes. Blood slides were labelled and air-dried horizontally in a slide tray.

Rapid test for detecting the HRP-II protein specifically secreted by Plasmodium falciparum. Based on an immunochromatographic technique. Used for plasmodium falciparum malaria diagnosis. Specifications. The gold standard method must remain the …

2014年3月17日 · Paracheck® performance was assessed using miscroscopy as the gold standard. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated as well as the diagnosis accuracy (DA) and the Youden index. Results: The malaria infection prevalence was estimated at 66% (95% CI: 64.8-67.2) according to microscopy and at 76.2% (95% CI: 75.1-77.3) according to Paracheck®.

2021年1月6日 · This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of two Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2)-based RDTs (Paracheck Pf® Test (Paracheck) and Malaria Pf™ ICT (ICT)) to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a community survey.
