How home pregnancy test works
When a woman becomes pregnant, her body produces a hormone called hCG (human
Chorionic Gonadotropin). This hormone appears in the urine. The secretion of
this hormone increases throughout the first trimester. Human chorionic gonadotropin
(hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly
after fertilization. In normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in serum as early
as 7 days following conception1-2, doubling every 1.3 to 2 days and reading
100 mlU/ml at the first missed menstrual period.3 The appearance of hCG soon
after conception and its subsequent rise in concentration during early gestational
growth make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy. OneStep
Dipstick Pregnancy Test is a qualitative, sandwich dye conjugate immunoassay
for the determination of human hCG in urine.4,5 The method employs a unique
combination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to selectively identify
hCG in test samples with a high degree of sensitivity. In less than 5 minutes,
elevated levels of hCG as low as 20- 25 mlU/mL can be detected.
