AMC Grade Scale Reference
Per AMC MM-SOP-03C guidelines, Grade III (Optimal) and Grade IV (Average) are acceptable for malaria diagnosis. Grade III is the ideal target. Grade IV is usable but a minor time adjustment is recommended to improve toward Grade III.
| Grade | Classification | Status |
|---|---|---|
| I | Under-stained | ❌ Fail |
| II | Lightly stained | ❌ Fail |
| III | Optimal staining | ✅ Pass |
| IV | Average staining | ✔ Acceptable |
| V | Deeply over-stained | ❌ Fail |
