SIDAK Lifecare Malaria Clear

Sidak Lifecare Malaria Clear is a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kit used for the qualitative detection of Malaria antigens in human blood samples. It is manufactured by Sidak Life Care Pvt. Ltd., an Indian diagnostic company founded in 2014.

Unlike a medicine or treatment, “Malaria Clear” is a diagnostic tool designed to provide quick and reliable results to help healthcare professionals determine if a patient has been infected with malaria parasites.

Key Features

• One-Step Detection: A simple immuno-chromatographic test that requires minimal steps to perform.

• Differential Diagnosis: Most versions of the Sidak Malaria kits can distinguish between P. falciparum (the most dangerous strain) and other species like P. vivax.

• ICMR Approved: The product is typically listed as approved by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for diagnostic use.

• User-Friendly: Designed for use in clinical settings, hospitals, and remote areas where laboratory infrastructure might be limited.

How it Works

The kit uses a lateral flow device (similar to a pregnancy test). When a blood sample mixed with a buffer is added to the test well:

1. The sample migrates across a membrane.

2. If malaria antigens are present, they bind to specific antibodies labeled with colored particles.

3. A colored line appears in the test region (T) to indicate a positive result, and a control line (C) appears to confirm the test worked correctly.
