Debao Biotech - hCG Pregnancy Test

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a glycoprotein hormone secreted by viable placental tissue during pregnancy, is excreted in urine approximately 20 days after the last menstrual period. The levels of HCG rise rapidly reaching peak levels after 60-80 days. The appearance of hCG in urine soon after conception and its rapid rise in concentration makes it an ideal marker for the early detection and confirmation of pregnancy. However, elevated hCG levels are frequently associated with trophoblastic and non-trophoblastic neoplasms and hence these conditions should be considered before a diagnosis of pregnancy can be made.

Individually packed test devices

Each device contains a strip with colored conjugates and reactive reagents pre-spreaded at the corresponding regions.

Disposable pipettes

For adding specimens use.

Package insert

For operation instruction.

Bring tests, specimens, and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.

1.Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the device with patient or control identification. To obtain a best result, the assay should be performed within one hour.

2.Directly add 100μL specimens into the specimen well (S), and start the timer.

Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S), and do not drop any solution in observation window.

As the test begins to work, you will see color move across the observation window in the center of the device

3. Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 8 minutes.

NOTE: Some low hCG concentrations might produce very weak T lines after a prolonged period of time, therefore, do not interpret the result after 8 minutes.
