7020911 tn?1387293423 I am a community health worker so I used to be in a possession of hiv and malaria test kits before Government withdrew from sponsoring us but in these particular tests I ran out of chase buffer so I decided to use assay buffer for malaria test
Avatar f tn I was reading about the test and the blood drop is placed in the buffer solution. The buffer solution is a red/purple color according to the test info. I am not sure what is in the buffer solution. Does something in the buffer activate the control line or something in all human fluids that would be in the blood? My understanding is that the control line is used to indicate the test is performing correctly. This is a tough question I know. I can't find it asked anywhere else.

Avatar m tn some weeks ago i got a testing buffer from a hiv clinic to test myself in some weeks. we used that buffer to test some hiv positive person (for device quality control purposes). 45 days after that day, i decided to test myself, i pricked my finger and dropped blood into the testing device then i wanted to add the buffer on blood. but some drops of buffer poured on my napkin and after about 1 minute i stupidly cleaned my poked bloody finger with that napkin.

Avatar m tn -) As I was not experienced with the test kit, after placing a drop of blood into the well, i place the diluent in as instructed, however the buffer did not push the blood up the test kit.

Question is: 1.
