hCG Pregnancy Rapid Strip Test
How to use our hCG pregnancy strip test
Bring tests, specimens and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.
- Remove the test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.
- Hold the strip by the end, where the product name is printed. To avoid contamination, do not touch the strip membrane.
- Holding the strip vertically, dip the test strip in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse past the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip.
- As the test begins to work, color will migrate across the membrane.
- After the test has finished running, remove the strip from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

FAQ
About human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
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. hCG levels 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.
What is the accuracy of the tests?
The relative sensitivity is >99.9% and relative specificity is >99.9%. Our tests maintain a high level of accuracy. Patients suspected to be pregnant but showing negative test result should be re-tested with the first morning specimens obtained 48-72 hours later.
How quickly can I expect the result?
The result can be read at 3 minutes. It’s essential to understand that low hCG concentrations may produce very weak test bands (T) after a prolonged period of time. Therefore, do not interpret the results after 10 minutes.
