HCG Rapid Pregnancy Test Strip

hcg pregnancy test strip

hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone produced in pregnancy that is made by the developing embryo after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta). hCG is excreted in the urine of pregnant women and Early pregnancy testing, in general, is based on the detection or measurement of hCG in urines. In certain cases, the detection of hCG in serum is recommended.

1. Urinate into a clean, dry cup or container.
2. Remove the testing device from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch. Hold the strip at the colored end. (Do not touch the arrow end; do not touch the test window/the middle part of the strip)
3. Holding the strip vertically, immerse the end of the strip with the arrows into the specimen. Do not immerse past the MAX line.
4. Take the strip out when the sample has migrated to the test window (at least 5 seconds). Lay the strip (MAX side facing up) flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface.
