Malaria Screening

The system Malaria screening is a qualitative test that allows the DNA amplification and detection, by means of Real-Time PCR, of P.falciparum, P.malariae, P.vivax, P.ovale and P. knowlesi genome extracted from biological samples, without species discrimination.

The Procedure allows the detection of the DNA target by means a genomic amplification reaction. The analysis of the results is obtained using a Real-Time PCR analyser (thermal cycler integrated with a system for fluorescence detection and  a dedicated software)
