EasyNAT Malaria Assay
Ongoing Challanges
Climate change expands malaria zones; conflict disrupts elimination efforts. Mosquito resistance to insecticides and parasite resistance to artemisinin-based therapies are increasing.
Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) can miss low-parasitemia infections and specific strains. Microscopy is labor-intensive.
POC molecular diagnostics are crucial for bridging the gap between central labs and field needs for malaria elimination.[1]
Product Overview
The EasyNAT® Malaria Assay is a POCT DNA test intended for the rapid qualitative detection of *Plasmodium* species (malaria parasite) in oropharyngeal swab and skin lesion exudate swab samples.
Results available within 49 minutes
Designed to provide an accurate LOD: 6 copies/mL
Clinical Value
Portable, low-cost POC PCR systems could revolutionize malaria surveillance in endemic regions.
Accurately identifies *P. falciparum*, *P. vivax*, and mixed infections.
Higher sensitivity for detecting low-parasitemia and asymptomatic infections, which is critical for elimination efforts.
