3. Carefully withdraw the plasma for testing, or label and store it at 2-8°C for up to two weeks. Plasma may be frozen at -20°C for up to one year.

Serum

1. Have a certified phlebotomist collect whole blood into a red top collection tube (containing no anticoagulants) by veinpuncture.
2. Allow the blood to clot.
3. Separate the serum by centrifugation.
4. Carefully withdraw the serum for testing or label and store it at 2-8°C for up to two weeks. Serum may be frozen at -20°C for up to one year.

ASSAY PROCEDURE

Serum or Plasma Sample

Add 70-100ul or 2-3 drops of serum or plasma into sample well. Observe the result in 5-10 minutes.

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

1. Negative: No apparent band in the test region (T), a pink-colored band appears in the control region (C). This indicates that you are not pregnant.
2. Positive: In addition to a pink-colored band in the control region (C), a pink-colored band will appear in the test region (T). This indicates that you are pregnant..
3. Invalid: If no band appears in the control region (C), regardless of the presence or absence of line in the test region (T). It indicates a possible error in performing the test. The test should be repeated using a new device.
