Pregnancy Midstream Test Pen - 10 Pack
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after implantation. HCG can be detected in the urine and serum of pregnant women as early as 6 to 15 days after conception. The concentration of HCG increases to 5-50mIU/ml one week post implantation, reaches about 100mIU/ml at the time of the first missed menstrual period, and peaks at 100,000-200,000mIU/ml at the end of the first trimester. The appearance of HCG soon after conception and its subsequent rise in concentration during early gestation growth, make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.
Our David Pregnancy Test Pens are rapid tests to detect the presence of HCG in urine specimens in a qualitative format sensitive to 15mIU/ml which means you can start testing before your period is due! They are also 99.8% accurate and FDA approved. The test pens are used by dipping them directly into the flow of urine. This makes them easy to use anywhere as no collection of urine is needed. Results are ready in less than 3 minutes.
Each test strip comes sealed in a protective foil pouch with moisture absorbent desiccant packet inside. Clear instructions are on the pouch. For more information and detailed instructions, a package insert is included in your order.
