Urine Malaria Test – Rapid Diagnostic Cassette
Product Description
The Urine Malaria Test is a non-invasive rapid diagnostic test (RDT) designed to detect malaria antigens in human urine. It provides a convenient, safe, and accurate method for the early detection of malaria, particularly caused by Plasmodium falciparum, without the need for blood collection.
This test is ideal for use in clinical settings, field screening, schools, and at-home care, and is especially useful in children, needle-sensitive patients, or where blood testing is not feasible.
