Effects of Buffer Substitution on Rapid Diagnostic Tests for Malaria Diagnosis
2022-08-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) detect Plasmodium antigens by antibody-antigen interactions on a nitrocellulose test strip/cassette. While this has proven useful and can detect Plasmodium spp. in about 15-20 mins, false positives and negatives are known limitations of any diagnostic test and mRDTs are no exception. Buffer substitution in RDTs is one phenomenon known to cause such incor...
