This rapid immunoassay is for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum as an aid in the early detection of pregnancy
It is a solid phase, sandwich-format immunochromatographic assay in which urine or serum is added to the sample well of the test device using the pipette provided
The sample migrates through reaction pads where hCG, if present in the sample, binds to a monoclonal anti-hCG dye conjugate, and then migrates across a membrane towards the results window, where the labeled hCG complex is captured at a test line region containing immobilized rabbit anti-hCG
The appearance of 2 black bands in the results window, one at "T: Test" and the other at "C: Control", indicates the presence of hCG in the sample, and if a detectable level of hCG is not present, only the control band will appear in the result window
For in vitro diagnostic use; store at room temperature out of direct sunlight
