This hCG Test is an immunoassay, used for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin in human whole blood, plasma, or serum and is indicated as an aid for healthcare professionals in the diagnosis of early pregnancy.
Rapid Finger Prick Blood Test for Pregnancy
Rapid Finger Prick Blood Test for Pregnancy
- Faster, lab accurate results.
- Convenient bedside test.
- Earlier detection reduces liability and protects patients.
Pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta around the fourth day after conception. hCG levels rise rapidly and double approximately every two days.
The ADEXUSDx® hCG Test can detect hCG earlier than urine-based tests with a single drop of whole blood, serum, or plasma.
