Rapid HCG Pregnancy Urine Test

Because the amount of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in your body increases rapidly during the first two weeks of pregnancy, Rapid HCG Pregnancy Urine Test will detect the presence of this hormone in your urine as early as the first day of a missed period. The test device can accurately detect pregnancy when the level of HCG is between 25mIU/ml to 500,000mIU/ml. The test reagent is exposed to urine, allowing urine to migrate through the absorbent test device. The labeled antibody-dye conjugate binds to the HCG in the specimen forming an antibody-antigen complex. This complex binds to the anti-HCG antibody in the test region (T) and produces a red line when HCG concentration is equal to or greater than 25mIU/ml. In the absence of HCG, there is no line in the test region (T). The reaction mixture continues flowing through the absorbent device past the test region (T) and control region (C). Unbound conjugate binds to the reagents in the control region (C), producing a red line, demonstrating that the test device is functioning correctly.

 

Before performing any tests, please read the entire program carefully.

Before testing, allow the test box and urine sample to equilibrate to room temperature (20-30 ℃ or 68-86 ℉).

1. Remove the test box from the sealed bag and place the device flat on a clean, dry, and non absorbent surface.

2. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 complete drops of urine into the sample well (S) of the testing device, then start timing. Avoid trapping bubbles in the sample pores (S). Please refer to the following image.

3. Wait for the colored lines to appear. Explain the test results within 5-8 minutes.

Attention: Do not read the results after 8 minutes.

A procedural control is included in the test. A red line appearing in the control region (C) is considered an internal procedural control. It confirms sufficient specimen volume, adequate membrane wicking and correct procedural technique. Control standards are not supplied with this kit. However, it is recommended that positive and negative controls be tested as good laboratory practice to confirm the test procedure and to verify proper test performance.
