The HCG Test is a fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay. The test consists of: 1) a conjugate pad containing HCG antibody conjugated with fluorescent microspheres and a control antibody (goat anti-chicken IgY antibody) conjugated with fluorescence microspheres, 2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing a test line (T line) and a control line (C line). The T line is pre-coated with another HCG antibody, and the C line is pre-coated with a control line antibody (chicken IgY antibody).
HCG concentration in specimen is positively correlated with the fluorescent density of the microspheres, after the measure and calculation of the quantitative fluorescence immunoassay analyzer, then the analyzer would calculate the concentration of HCG according to the preset calibration curve in the machine and display the result, detection unit is mIU/mL. C line should appear in any cases, which indicates the reaction system is effective.
