Access Bio Malaria Rapid Test Kits
The Access Bio Malaria Rapid Test Kits are designed for quick and reliable detection of Plasmodium species, including Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. Ideal for clinics, hospitals, mobile units, and community health programs, these kits provide healthcare professionals with accurate results within minutes, supporting timely treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes.
Access Bio, in collaboration with Global Good, has recently developed an ultra-sensitive rapid diagnostic test (uRDT) that is five times more sensitive than traditional kits for detecting low parasitemia levels of P. falciparum. This innovation makes the kits particularly suitable for malaria elimination research, antenatal screening, and low-density infection detection.
Key Features & Benefits
Rapid Results: Detection within 15–20 minutes
Ultra-Sensitive Detection: Detects Plasmodium falciparum even at very low parasitemia levels
High Accuracy & Specificity: Minimizes false positives, validated in clinical trials
User-Friendly: Easy-to-use lateral flow immunochromatographic assay
Portable & Durable: Ideal for field testing and outreach programs, stores at room temperature
Minimal Sample Volume: Only a small drop of blood (capillary or venous) needed
Globally Trusted: Used in clinics and research institutions worldwide
Ideal Uses
Primary healthcare clinics for routine malaria diagnosis
Community outreach programs and mobile testing units
Antenatal screening clinics where low parasitemia detection is critical
Travel and emergency clinics for rapid diagnosis of returning travelers
Malaria elimination research projects requiring highly sensitive detection
