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

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.
