One Step HCG Pregancy Test Kit (Cassette)

Intended use

The HCG Pregnancy Test Cassette is a rapid, one step test for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in urine, as an aid for the early detection of pregnancy. The test is intended for in vitro diagnostic self-testing.

Test principle

The HCG Pregnancy Test Cassette utilizes a combination of antibodies including a monoclonal HCG antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of HCG. The assay is conducted by filling the urine specimen to sample well and observing the formation of red-colored lines. The specimen migrates via capillary action along the membrane to react with the colored conjugate. Positive specimens react with the specific antibody-HCG-colored conjugate and form a red colored line at the test line region of the membrane.
