Unlike conventional urine-based assays that are subject to hydration-induced dilution errors, whole-blood testing detects circulating hCG levels as low as 25 IU\/L within five minutes. This enables clinical-grade, highly accurate confirmation of pregnancy just days after conception. By analyzing systemic circulation directly, this point-of-care test bypasses early-stage renal filtration delays, offering a reliable diagnostic window prior to the missed menstrual cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBABYCHECK-1® WB by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/7dewix98pijo82eb-20910197.shopifypreview.com\/collections\/vendors?q=PHARMA%20Southern%20Africa\" title=\"PHARMA Southern Africa\"\u003ePHARMA Southern Africa\u003c\/a\u003e is a self-diagnostic rapid test for the determination of the hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in whole blood sample for the diagnosis of pregnancy. While pregnancy can be detected in urine about 1 week after a missed period, whole blood testing can detect pregnancy as early as a few days after impregnation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePregnancy whole blood tests are also known to be more accurate than urine tests. This is the reason why whole blood\/serum pregnancy tests are widely used in laboratories\/hospitals. In addition, the volume of ingested liquids which may affect the urine test results (dilution of hCG) will not affect a whole blood test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe test accuracy is indeed very important as a pregnancy necessarily implies precautions as well as a change in lifestyle such as stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, reducing or even eliminating medications as well as certain foods. BABYCHECK-1® WB is a rapid qualitative test for the detection of the hCG in whole blood. In only 5 minutes, it is possible to detect an hCG concentration of 25 IU\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhen Should the TEST Be Performed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can use the BABYCHECK-1® WB (pregnancy test) at any time of day or night.\u003cbr\u003eBABYCHECK-1® WB can detect pregnancy earlier than a classical urine test because the hCG hormone produced in the placenta is first released in the blood flow and then into the urine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTherefore, there is no more limitation to collect the morning first urine in order to increase the probability of an early pregnancy detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWHAT Do I Have to Do If the Result is Positive?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the result is positive, you should consult your healthcare practitioner and\/or gynecologist to discuss your pregnancy and next steps.
