U-Check Pregnancy Test Strip (1 Test) Overview
The U-Check Pregnancy 1 Test is a rapid, one-step diagnostic tool designed for early detection of pregnancy. This qualitative hCG test uses a high-sensitivity lateral flow immunoassay to detect Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining.
How to Use U-Check Pregnancy Test
For the most reliable results, follow these steps:
- Collect Urine: Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container. First-morning urine is recommended for the highest hCG concentration.
- Dip the Strip: Remove the U-Check strip from the foil pouch. Dip the absorbent end into the urine sample up to the "MAX" line for about 10-15 seconds.
- Wait for Results: Lay the strip flat on a non-absorbent surface.
- Read Results: Results appear within 1 to 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
Reading the Result:
- Positive: Two distinct colored lines appear (one in the control region 'C' and one in the test region 'T').
- Negative: Only one colored line appears in the control region 'C'.
- Invalid: No lines appear, or only the test line appears.
How Accurate is the U-Check Test?
The U-Check Pregnancy Test is over 99% accurate when used after the first day of a missed period. With a sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL, it is designed to detect even low levels of pregnancy hormones.
When to Test for Best Results
While the U-Check test can be used at any time of day, testing with your first-morning urine provides the best chance of early detection. If you have an irregular cycle, it is best to wait at least 14 days after suspected conception before testing.
