Agary Pregnancy Pregnancy Test Strips

Description

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.
