Used Techniques
Rapid serological test (CATT test) used for the screening of Trypanosoma gambiense (sleeping sickness).
Instructions for use
The CATT is the only screening test for trypanosomiasis. The diagnosis of trypanosomiasis must be completed with other tests:
- liquid of ganglionary puncture
- Woo test: looking for trypanosoma in a blood sample
- lumbar puncture (double centrifuge method) to determine the stage of the disease
This list includes the equipment needed for the CATT test on whole blood and the CATT test dilution. Do not forget equipment for sample collection.
It is recommended to wear gloves for any handling of blood samples.

Used Techniques
Thin / thick blood film stained with Giemsa for the detection of malaria, borreliasis, leishmaniasis, filariasis.
Instructions for use
The Giemsa solution should be extemporaneously prepared. The racks for staining and drying slides can be locally manufactured.
Malaria, filariasis and borreliasis are generally done with a capillary blood sample (we can also use venous blood). Do not forget equipment for blood sample collection.
It is recommended to wear gloves for any handling of blood samples.
Leishmaniasis needs an lymph node or spleen puncture, what requires a particular training which is organized only in some specific programmes.
Visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar) requires in addition another diagnostic method with a serological test.

Used Techniques
Emmel test (= sickle cell test) on whole blood/ capillary blood with sodium disulfite (metabisulfite) or saline.
Instructions for use
The technique with sodium disulfite is recommended as it is more sensitive than saline.
A scale is needed to prepare the reagent (2% solution: 0.5 g for 25 ml distilled water).
The metabisulphite solution is unstable and can be kept maximum 8 hours.
Alternative: test with paraffine.
It is recommended to wear gloves during the test.
See also the checklist for blood collection/venipuncture for the necessary material for sampling.
Please consult the “Updated laboratory procedures, 2022” available online via the Laboratory working Group sharepoint page: Laboratory Procedures and Resources.

The PIMA CD4 analyzer has been discontinued by the manufacturer in May 2022.
The consumables and spare parts remain available. Contact your laboratory advisor for alternative options.
Definition
PIMA analyser is a benchtop and portable fixed-volume cytometer for the enumeration of CD4+ T cells with PIMA CD4 test cartridge on capillary or venous blood.
Instructions for use
Do not forget the equipment for blood sampling with EDTA tube (see checklist blood collection).
If the test is performed on capillary blood, the ordering of the sample collection kit is mandatory, because it contains specific lancets for PIMA CD4 use.
Please consult the “Updated laboratory procedures, 2022” available online via the Laboratory working Group sharepoint page: Laboratory Procedures and Resources.

Definition
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to qualitatively and/or quantitatively determine the presence of a protein through absorbance using a microplate reader.
This reader can be used to measure absorbance with multiple ELISA plate formats.
In MSF, the ELISA test is currently used to monitor thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in MDR TB patients, in high case loads of some serological tests and for operational research.
Instructions for use
The ELISA washer is reserved for programmes with high ELISA analysis throughput (many plates) and good infrastructure.
Do not forget equipment for venous blood sample collection.

The haematology analyzer XQ-320 replaces the XP-300 starting from 2023. The XQ-320 uses the same reagents and solutions as the XP-300 but spare parts are different for both models.
Definition
Haematology analysers are used for full blood counts: total white blood cell count, red blood cell count and platelets. In addition, the analyser measures also haemoglobin, haematocrit, percentage of lymphocytes and granulated white blood cells.
Instructions for use
Do not forget the equipment for blood sampling with EDTA tubes (see checklist blood collection).

The MTB/RIF cartridge will be discontinued by the manufacturer in December 2023 and replaced by the MTB/RIF Ultra cartridge.
Definition
The GeneXpert is an automated molecular cartridge based, closed system to perform nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT).
The test Xpert MTB/RIF and MTB/RIF Ultra cartridge is used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicine resistance. The MTB/RIF Ultra has a lower limit of detection than MTB/RIF, reduces false rifampicin resistance and better differentiate silent from resistant-conferring mutations.
The test Xpert MTB/XDR is used to detect extensively drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with resistance detection to isoniazid, ethionamide, fluoroquinolone, second line injectable drug.
Instructions for use
The GeneXpert® MTB test does not eliminate the need for conventional microscopy, culture and DST, which are required to monitor treatment progress and to detect resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to drugs.
The operating temperature for GeneXpert device is 15-30°C.
Please consult the “Updated laboratory procedures, 2022” available online via the Laboratory working Group sharepoint page: Laboratory Procedures and Resources.

The Humalyzer 2000 has been stopped by the manufacturer. Contact your laboratory advisor for alternative options.
The support for Humalyzer 2000 will be discontinued in November 2023, and spare parts for this instrument will only be available as long as stock lasts.
Definition
A biochemistry analyser (commonly called "spectrophotometer") is used to carry out different clinical and haematology analyses such as liver function test (ALAT, ASAT), renal function test (creatinine, bilirubine) etc.
Instructions for use
Specific kits allow to carry out each analysis. It is compulsory to use the controls.
The dosage kits and control solutions are thermosensitive items: they must be transported by cold chain and kept refrigerated between 2 and 8°C.
Do not forget equipment for venous blood sample collection.
