Rapid hCG EIA Test Kit An enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of hCG in human serum or urine. The Rapid hCG EIA Test Kit is a one step enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) concentration in human serum or urine. During normal pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) concentration increases dramatically in blood and urine. hCG is made by cells that form the placenta. It is secreted by placental tissue, beginning with the primitive trophoblast, almost from the time of implantation, and serves to support the corpus luteum during the early weeks of pregnancy. hCG or hCG similar glycoproteins can also be produced by a wide variety of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic tumors. The measurement of hCG, by assay systems with suitable sensitivity and specificity has proven great value in the detection of pregnancy and the diagnosis of early pregnancy disorders. hCG is detectable as early as 10 days after ovulation, reaching 100 mIU/mL by the first missed period. At the time for the next ovulation, the hCG level is 200 mIU/mL (approximately 28 days after conception).
