One-step hCG Pregnancy Dipstrip, Cassette and Midstream for Home Testing

HCG Pregnancy test kits, also referred to as one-step hCG tests, are a highly sensitive testing kit for the detection of a certain hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) in urine or serum specimen. After getting pregnant, the woman body will release this chemical into blood and urine. Thus elevated level of this hCG are used to determine early pregnancy.

Our NOVAtest hCG rapid tests are easy to use and give a visual, qualitative result, so these HCG home testing kits can be used as pregnancy self-testing kit which can be performed in the home with the confidentiality and privacy that one's house can offer. And our HCG home testing kits have got the TUV CE certification for self-testing, and are ready to sell to EU over-the-counter (OTC) market. Atlas Link Technology Co., Ltd can supply CE pregnancy test in three formats, namely hCG urine strip, hCG urine cassette and hCG urine midstream test.

With hCG urine test, positive levels (higher than 10 mIU/ml) in the blood can be detected as 1 to 2 days after missing a period. The benefit of HCG urine pregnancy test kits is that they are less expensive; and testing can be done at home by the testees themselves. However, instructions need to be followed carefully, and errors in interpreting the test results are not uncommon. These errors could occur if the urine is too dilute; or if the test is not done properly; or if there is some kind of urinary tract infection. Pregnancy is a very important time in the life of a woman, her partner and a family. That is one of the reasons why HCG rapid pregnancy test kits are selling well in the world market.

hCG Hormone and Pregnancy

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is initially secreted by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta shortly after implantation of the fertilized ovum into the uterine wall. This hormone is critical to the viability of the fetus, by preventing the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and thereby maintaining progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans; it also affects the immune tolerance of the pregnancy so as the fetus is not rejected by the maternal body.

The hCG level in non-pregnant females is less than 5.0 mIU/ml, which reaches 5-50 mIU/ml three weeks after the last menstrual period, and 2,000mIU/mL a month after conception. The rapid rise in serum levels of hCG concentration after conception makes it an excellent marker for early confirmation and monitoring of pregnancy. Following delivery, the hCG level normally undergoes rapid descent, reaching non-pregnant concentrations some two weeks later. Ectopic pregnancies and pregnancies terminating in spontaneous abortion tend to have lower than normal circulating hCG levels, while somewhat higher levels are often seen in multiple pregnancies.

Various hCG detection methods are available, including one step hCG test and hCG ELISA kit, which are used to detect hCG qualitatively, and are used to indicate the presence or absence of an implanted embryo, or the stage and condition of the pregnancy.
