Tropical Diseases Rapid Diagnostic Tests

Tropical disease rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are tests designed to help healthcare professionals detect specific antigens or antibodies associated with infectious diseases. Depending on the test, they can provide a result within minutes and may require only a small sample, making them useful in clinical laboratories, hospitals and other professional healthcare settings. Rapid diagnostic tests are used as an aid to diagnosis and should be considered alongside other relevant clinical information. 

Biopanda offers rapid diagnostic tests for a range of tropical and vector-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Chagas disease, filariasis, typhoid fever, cholera, West Nile virus and Zika virus. Different tests are designed to detect specific disease-related antigens or antibodies. Please refer to the individual product page for the intended use and specifications of each test.
