About this test
Malaria testing ranges from a rapid antigen test to microscopy (thick/thin film) and PCR — the right one depends on your symptoms and history.
The main driver is which specific test you choose (see the options above). Home sample collection, where available, and bundled panels can change the total. SynLab pricing is uniform across its Nigerian branches, so where you are doesn't change the price — only which test and whether you add home collection.
