Instructions 3. Collect your urine into a clean container (not provided) and dip the absorbent pad cyclotest® Early Pregnancy Test into the urine for at least 10 seconds. You can also point the absorbent tip downward and place it in urine stream for at least 10 seconds until it is thoroughly wet.

cyclotest® Early Pregnancy Test is a self-performing immunoassay designed for the qua- litative determination of humanchorionicgonadotropin (hCG) in urine for early detecti- on of pregnancy by visual.
cyclotest® Early Pregnancy Test is designed for both professional and lay users.

When to begin testingThe test could be used already approx. 4 days before the day of your estimated menst- ruation. In most cases the test is accurate at this date. However, because of variation in hCG concentration among women, or potential miscalculation of the last period, if there is a negative result, and pregnancy is still suspected, you should retest after a few days.

Specimen collection and handling 1. Urine specimen must be collected in a clean and dry container.

At the cannot be assayed immediately, they can be stored at 2-8 °C for up 72 hours prior time of the last missed menstrual period, urine hCG levels are about 100 mIU/ml with peak levels of 100,000 to 200,000 mIU/ml seen at the end of the first trimester.

proceeds through the absorbent pad, then laterally onto a chromatographic membrane. As it contacts the membrane, the sample dissolves the lyophilized conjugate. In a reac- tive sample, the hCG antigen will bind to the antibodies in the colloidal solution. As the Test line Check line conjugate moves forward on the membrane, anti-hCG monoclonal antibody affixed on the test zone („T") will bind the HCG-gold conjugate complex, forming a pink line („T"). All samples will cause a pink colored line in the control zone („C"). This lined is formed by the binding of the polyclonal antibodies (Anti-mouse lgG) affixed onto the cont- rol zone to the sample-colloidal gold conjugate. Presence of this line indicates sample amount is appropriate and the test has been carried out correctly. In less than 5 minutes, Sample well (absorbent tip) levels of hCG as low as 10mIU/ml can be detected.
