摘要Over the past decades,rapid diagnostic tests(RDTs)have become the most widely deployed diagnostic tool,enabling timely treatment in resource-limited and remote settings[1].Their reliability,however,depends on rigorous quality assurance frameworks,with the World Health Organization(WHO)-endorsed quality control panels serving as the cornerstone for monitoring RDT performance and ensuring diagnostic fidelity across diverse epidemiological landscapes[2].Quality control panels are standardized,parasite-based reference materials used to evaluate antigen detection by RDTs under controlled conditions.They play an essential role in detecting lot-to-lot variations,guiding procurement decisions,and safeguarding programmatic confidence in RDTs[3].Despite this centrality,the practical and operational realities of quality control panel preparation in malaria-endemic regions remain underexplored.
