[Intended Use]
The product is used for in vitro qualitative detection of the level of Human chorionic gonadotropin in human urine.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein secreted by the trophoblast cells of the placenta, which is composed of glycoproteins of α and β dimers. After a few days of fertilization, HCG begins to secrete. With the trophoblast cells produce plenty of HCG, they can be discharged into urine through blood circulation. Therefore, the detection of HCG in urine samples can be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of early pregnancy [1].

[Test Principles]

The product uses the reaction principle of double antibody sandwich method, and is developed in combination with immunochromatography technology. The goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody is coated at the quality control line (C) on the nitrocellulose membrane, and the HCG monoclonal antibody is coated at the test line (T) on the nitrocellulose membrane. The HCG monoclonal antibody labeled with red tracers is coated on the glass cellulose membrane. During detection, the sample flows upward under the action of chromatography, and when the HCG concentration in the sample is higher than the LoD of this test strips, HCG will specifically bind to the anti-HCG and be captured by the HCG monoclonal antibody at the test line, thus a red band appears at the test line. When the HCG concentration in the sample is lower than the LoD of this test strip or there is no HCG in the sample, then no red band appears at the test line. Regardless of the content of HCG in the samples, anti-HCG can be captured by the goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody at the quality control line to form an immune complex, thus a red band appears at the quality control line.
