Pregnancy Test Strip singles
1. **Test Strip Components:**
- **Nitrocellulose Membrane:** Acts as the medium for the migration of the sample.
- **Absorbent Pad:** Absorbs the urine sample and facilitates its movement along the strip.
- **Control Line Antibody:** Coated with antibodies that react with the control line indicator.
- **Test Line Antibody:** Coated with antibodies specific to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
- **Gold Nanoparticles or Colloidal Gold:** Used as a visual marker for the test line and control line.
2. **Buffer Solution:**
- **Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS):** Maintains pH and provides the necessary ionic strength for the test.
- **Detergents (e.g., Tween-20):** To reduce non-specific binding and improve the clarity of the test results.
3. **Stabilizers:**
- **Proteins (e.g., BSA - Bovine Serum Albumin):** To stabilize the antibodies on the strip.
- **Preservatives (e.g., Sodium Azide):** To prevent microbial growth and maintain the integrity of the test components.
### Indications for Use
The Agary Pregnancy Test Strip is indicated for:
1. **Early Detection of Pregnancy:**
- To qualitatively detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, which is an indicator of pregnancy.
2. **Home Use:**
- Designed for self-testing by individuals in the privacy of their homes to confirm pregnancy.
3. **Clinical Use:**
- Can be used in healthcare settings for preliminary screening of pregnancy in patients.
4. **Monitoring hCG Levels:**
- Useful for monitoring hCG levels in women undergoing fertility treatments or those with conditions affecting hCG production.
### Instructions for Use
1. **Sample Collection:**
- Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container.
2. **Testing Procedure:**
- Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch.
- Dip the strip into the urine sample for the time specified in the instructions (usually a few seconds).
- Lay the strip flat on a clean, dry surface.
3. **Reading Results:**
- Wait for the specified time (usually 3-5 minutes) to read the results.
- A single line indicates a negative result, while two lines indicate a positive result.
4. **Interpretation of Results:**
- Positive Result: Two distinct lines (one in the control area and one in the test area).
- Negative Result: One line in the control area only.
- Invalid Result: No lines or a line only in the test area.
### Storage and Stability
- Store the test strips in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do not freeze the test strips.
- Check the expiration date before use.
### Caution
- For in vitro diagnostic use only.
- Follow the instructions carefully for accurate results.
- Consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation if pregnancy is suspected or if results are unclear.
