Simply dip the test strip into the urine specimen, lay the test strip on a flat surface and wait for the result (five minutes or less). Acceava hCG Basic is packaged 50 tests per kit.

The Acceava urine dipstick test provides qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine for early detection. A simple procedure provides easy-to-read results in 3 minutes at a detection level of 25 mIU/mL.

About Pregnancy

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. In normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in both urine and serum as early as 7 to 10 days after conception.^1-4 hCG levels continue to rise very rapidly, frequently exceeding 100 mIU/mL by the first missed menstrual period, and peaking in the 100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range about 10-12 weeks into pregnancy.^2-4 The appearance of hCG in both the urine and serum soon after conception, and its subsequent rapid rise in concentration during early gestational growth, make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.
