Didactic Lab is a manufacturer and exporter based in India supplying schools, colleges, universities, technical institutes, research laboratories, healthcare institutions, industrial laboratories and government organisations across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This category covers two ranges bought mainly by health programmes rather than teaching laboratories: long-lasting insecticidal nets for malaria vector control, and point-of-care photometers with their single-use microcuvettes for haemoglobin and glucose testing on whole blood. Both are supplied against programme specifications and product-level qualification rules rather than ordinary catalogue descriptions, and both depend on a consumable or replacement cycle that has to be planned before the first delivery.

What this category contains

Long-lasting insecticidal nets. Three rectangular net products are listed: a PBO net at a stated minimum 110 denier in white, blue or green; a polyester net at a stated 100 denier; and a polyethylene net at a stated 120–150 denier. Denier describes yarn weight and is one input to how a net wears in service — but it is not the specification a programme buys on.

Point-of-care testing. Six items are listed: a haemoglobin photometer set, a glucose photometer set described as an automated point-of-care device for glucose in capillary whole blood, the single-use microcuvettes for each (the haemoglobin microcuvette is listed as collecting 10 to 12 µL of capillary whole blood, and the glucose microcuvette as accepting capillary, venous and arterial whole blood), a pre-moistened polyvinyl acetate cleaning sponge for the photometer, and a reusable dried-blood-spot punch of approximately 3.0 mm.

How insecticide-treated nets are qualified for programme procurement

Nets for donor-funded malaria programmes are qualified as finished products, by name and by manufacturer — not by the insecticide alone. The World Health Organization Prequalification Unit assesses vector control products through a product dossier and inspection of the manufacturing site, and products that meet the requirements are added to the WHO list of prequalified vector control products. UNICEF procures only LLINs that are WHO-prequalified. The Global Fund maintains its own published list of insecticide-treated nets meeting its quality assurance requirements, together with an expert review route for products not yet prequalified, and applies pre-shipment sampling and testing plus post-market surveillance to nets it finances.

The practical consequence for a buyer is a single question: is this exact net, from this exact manufacturer and site, on the relevant list today? A statement that the insecticide used is qualified does not answer it, because the listing attaches to the net product and its maker, not to the chemistry alone. Ask for the listing entry and the manufacturer named on it, and check the current published list rather than relying on a catalogue line.

Nomenclature also carries weight in tender documents. Pyrethroid-PBO nets are treated as a distinct class in Global Fund procurement policy, because the PBO synergist component does not sit inside the definition applied to conventional long-lasting insecticidal nets. A net described simply as an "LLIN PBO" may therefore be assessed against a different requirement from the one a buyer assumed. State the class explicitly on the enquiry and on the tender response.

What to specify when ordering nets

• Active ingredient and its concentration, and for a PBO net the synergist content — the primary specification, and not currently published against these products.
• Net dimensions and shape, and the number of hanging points — a "rectangular" net is not a size.
• Mesh density and denier, together rather than separately.
• Wash resistance and expected service life, stated against the test basis used.
• Packing, labelling and bale configuration, which for programme distribution is usually specified down to the carton.
• The qualification listing entry for the exact product and manufacturer, as above.

Why the microcuvette decides a point-of-care programme, not the photometer

For haemoglobin and glucose testing, the instrument is bought once and the microcuvette is bought forever. Each test consumes one single-use cuvette, so the running cost, the storage requirement and the failure mode of a screening programme all sit with the consumable rather than the analyser. Microcuvettes are lot-controlled and dated, and they are matched to a specific photometer model — the haemoglobin and glucose cuvettes listed here are not interchangeable, and neither is interchangeable with another manufacturer device.

Three things follow, and they should be settled before the first instrument ships:

Calculate the cuvette requirement from the test volume, not the instrument count. A clinic doing two hundred tests a week needs two hundred cuvettes a week plus wastage, indefinitely.

Confirm shelf life, storage temperature and lot dating. A consignment of cuvettes with short remaining life, or one that cannot be stored at the temperature the destination can actually maintain, is a write-off however good the instrument is.

Confirm the resupply route and lead time to the destination before commissioning. An analyser without cuvettes is not a slower analyser; it is an idle one, and the gap between running out and resupply is where screening programmes stop.

The same logic applies to the cleaning sponge and, in a different way, to the dried-blood-spot punch: a punch described as reusable needs a documented cleaning procedure between samples, because carry-over between blood spots is the risk that a reusable punch introduces and a single-use one does not.

What to confirm before ordering

Applications and buyer groups

The net range is bought for malaria prevention campaigns and routine distribution through antenatal and immunisation contacts. The point-of-care range suits anaemia screening in antenatal care, glucose testing in outpatient and community settings, and dried-blood-spot sample collection for laboratory-based testing.

Buyers include health ministries and national malaria and health programmes, government procurement departments, NGOs and development organisations, importers and distributors, and project consultants specifying for programme supply. Nursing, midwifery and public health teaching institutions also buy point-of-care instruments for training.

Institutional, export and tender enquiries

Didactic Lab supplies schools, colleges, universities, technical institutes, research laboratories, healthcare institutions, industrial laboratories and government organisations, and exports to countries across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Tender and OEM enquiries can be sent through the Tenders and OEM page.

For a programme order, send the product codes and quantities, the destination country, the expected test volume or distribution population, and the qualification and documentation requirements the funder applies. Where a tender specifies a listing or a net class, quote that line as written so the response can be matched against it.

Product ranges in this category

• Bednet Insecticides — three long-lasting insecticidal net products
• Clinical Laboratory — point-of-care photometers, microcuvettes, cleaning sponge and dried-blood-spot punch

Frequently asked questions

Are the microcuvettes for the haemoglobin and glucose photometers interchangeable?

No. Each microcuvette is made for a specific photometer model and measurement, so haemoglobin and glucose cuvettes are ordered separately against the instrument they belong to. Confirm the model on every reorder, because a cuvette that does not match the analyser cannot be used.

Can a net be substituted for another type with the same insecticide?

Not on a programme order without the buyer agreement. Qualification attaches to the finished net product from a named manufacturer, and PBO nets are treated as a separate class from conventional long-lasting insecticidal nets in funder policy, so a substitution can change how the line is assessed even when the active ingredient is the same.

How far ahead should consumables be ordered for a testing programme?

Work back from the resupply lead time to the destination and hold buffer stock covering at least that period, sized from the expected test volume rather than the number of instruments. Confirm remaining shelf life on delivery so that buffer stock does not expire before it is used.
