One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test Strips are used for
qualitative (visual) determination of hCG (human Chorionic
Gonadotropin) in urine specimens for early detection of pregnancy. HCG
is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by developing placenta shortly after
implantation. hCG can be detected in urine and serum of pregnant women
as early as 6 to 15 days after conception. The early pregnancy tests are designed to screen very low hCG concentrations in this initial hCG development stage.
These
pregnancy tests are specifically designed for professional users
(doctors, clinics, family planning centres) for determination of early
pregnancy, but have also found a place in home pregnancy testing applications due to
ease of use and low cost. Early pregnancy tests
detect hCG in urine in a qualitative format with sensitivity of
20mIU/mL (International Standard Value). The test line is responsive in
the range of 10-50 mIU producing a line directly proportional to
concentration of hCG in urine. The specificity is 99.9% meaning that
test is highly selective for beta-hCG glycoprotein.
Early home pregnancy tests have an
expiry date of 2 years and can be stored in a dry environment ranging
from 2 to 30 degrees Celsius. The products are manufactured in ISO 9001
facility and posses Health Canada, US FDA 510k, and European CE
certificates. These pregnancy test products have earned an
international reputation for quality and reliability, and are
distributed in over 70 countries worldwide. |
