The hCG One Step Pregnancy Test Strip is a rapid, one-step lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the detection of pregnancy.The test utilizes a combination of antibodies including a monoclonal hCG antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of hCG. The assay is conducted by immersing the end of the strip in urine, and obtaining the result from the colored lines.
1.Q: How does the test work?
A: The hCG One Step Pregnancy Test Strip detects a hormone in your urine that your body produces during pregnancy (hCG-human chorionic gonadotropin). The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses.
2.Q: How soon after I suspect that I am pregnant can I take the test?
A: You can test your urine as early as the first day you miss your period. You can perform the test anytime of the day; however, if you are pregnant, first morning urine contains the most pregnancy hormone.
3.Q: Do I have to test with first morning urine?
A: Although you can test at any time of the day, your first morning urine is usually the most concentrated of the day and would have the most hCG in it.
4.Q: How do I know that the test was run properly?
A: The appearance of a colored line in the control region (C) tells you that you followed the test procedure properly and the proper amount of urine was absorbed.
5.Q: What should I do if the result shows that I am pregnant?
A: It means that your urine contains hCG and you are probably pregnant. See your doctor to confirm that you are pregnant and to discuss the steps you should take.
6.Q: What should I do if the result shows that I am not pregnant?
A: It means that no hCG has been detected in your urine and probably you are not pregnant. If you do not start your period within a week of its due date, repeat the test with a new test strip. If you receive the same result after repeating the test and you still do not get your period, you should see your doctor.
