Enhancing safety of rapid and accurate malaria diagnosis in patients at risk for viral haemorrhagic fever
Rapid and accurate malaria diagnosis remains possible on whole blood mixed with this virucidal buffer. The buffer is available in blood collection tubes, which allows for enhanced safety of sample handling from bedside to bench. These tubes can be used in patients with high suspicion of malaria, but in whom VHF cannot be completely excluded.
