Introduction
β-HCG Rapid Quantitative Test is used to detect the concentration of β-HCG in human serum or plasma.
HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) is a kind of glycoprotein hormone secreted by placental trophoblast cells. It can maintain the level of corpus luteum and decrease the activity of the mother lymphocyte, which prevents the embryo from immune rejection. HCG consists of an α subunit and a β subunit. The concentration of β subunit of HCG is used to represent the concentration of HCG in human blood. The concentration of β-HCG is up to 27000-210000mIU/mL from the eighth week to the twentieth week of pregnancy. It will drop down to 8000-60000mIU/mL at the eighteenth week of pregnancy. The detection of β-HCG can represent the summation of HCG and free β-HCG[1-3].
Advantages
✔ β-HCG Quantitative test kit can detect tiny amounts of hormone in the blood
✔ Detection range can arrive at 200,000 mIU/mL without being diluted.
✔ Avoid the hook effect and prevent false negatives
✔ The reference interval is complete and the indicators of each period are clear
Clinical Significance
✔ Diagnosis of early pregnancy and monitoring of embryonic development
✔ Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy
✔ Assist in the diagnosis of fetal protection treatment, postpartum and miscarriage
✔ Diagnosis, curative effect observation and prognosis judgment of trophoblast disease
✔ Prenatal screening
