hCG Pregnancy Test Strips (25 Pack)

Pregnancy Test

A pregnancy test is a urine-based test designed to detect a specific hormone that is produced when your body prepares for pregnancy. This HCG urine test detects traces of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, abbreviated HCG. Note that this important hormone is only produced during pregnancy.

As with testing strips and other drug testing devices like dip cards and test cups, urine is the primary testing method used in the pregnancy test. This is mainly due to two factors. The first is the fact that urine is capable of storing traces of hormones as well as drugs. The other reason is its cost-efficient nature.

The hCG Urine Test

As soon as a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, the placenta is formed, and hCG is produced and continuously formed there. hCG promotes pregnancy and is responsible for many of the changes that take place in a woman’s body. For this reason, this hormone is produced in the vast majority of cases only during pregnancy.

The pregnancy test is a quick way to determine if your body is preparing for the long process of childbirth. If hCG is produced, there is a high probability that you are actually pregnant and your body will undergo changes. Note that in some cases, hCG can also be produced without the placenta. However, this most likely means that something is wrong and that you should seek professional help.

Instructions for the hCG Pregnancy Test

Bring the tests, samples, buffers and/or controls to room temperature (15-30 °C) before use. Then simply follow these few steps.

1. Open: Remove the hCG test strip from the sealed packaging or take a strip from the container and use it as quickly as possible. For the best results, the test should be performed within one hour.
2. Dip: Hold the strip at the end where the product name is printed. To avoid contamination, do not touch the membrane of the strip. Immerse the test strip in the urine sample for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not dip beyond the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip.
3. Wait: After the test is completed, remove the strip from the sample and place it on a non-absorbent, flat surface.
4. Read: Start the timer and wait until the colored bands appear. The result should be read after 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
