Strengthening Analytical Capacity for Vector-Control Research in Africa

AIRID strengthens analytical capacity for vector-control research through its HPLC system, supporting accurate assessment of insecticide content and product quality. This contributes to generating high-quality evidence for the development and evaluation of tools against malaria and other vector-borne diseases.

At the African Institute for Research in Infectious Diseases (AIRID), our High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system supports the accurate quantification of active ingredients in insecticide-treated nets and other vector-control products.

This capability enables us to assess insecticide content, support product-quality evaluations, and generate reliable analytical data for developing and evaluating tools to prevent malaria and other vector-borne diseases.

Investing in advanced scientific infrastructure—and in the African expertise required to operate it—is essential for producing high-quality evidence where it is needed most.

Bold science. African-led. Impact-driven.
