High Accuracy Urine Fsh Menopause Test for Self-Detection of Ovarian Function
The FSH(Follicle Stimulating Hormone) rapid test dipstick is a rapid test that qualitatively detects the FSH level in unrine specimen at the sensitivity of 25mIU/ml. The test utilizes a combination of antibodies including a monoclonal anti-FSH antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of FSH.
Application
The FSH Rapid Test Dipstick ( Urine) is a repid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) in urine to aid in the detection of menopause.
1.Self-detection of ovarian function
2.Prevention of premature ovarian
3.Diagnosis of menopause
Direction of Use
Allow the test, urine specimen and /or control to reach room temperature(15-30ºC) prior to test in.
-
Determine the day to begin test.
-
Bring the pouch or canister to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test Dipstick from the sealed pouch or closed canister and use it as soon as possible.
-
With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen for at least 15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the test Dipstick when immersing the Dipstick. See illustration below.
-
Place the test Dipstick on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 3 minutes
INTERPRETATION RESULT (Please refer to the illustration)
Positive: Two lines are visible and the line in test line region(T) is the same as or darker than the line in the control line region(C). A positive result means that the FSH level is higher than normal. Record the results and see the chart below to interpret result.
Negative: Two lines are visible, but the line in the test line region(T) is lighter than the line in the control line region(C), or there is no line in the test line region (T). A negative result means that the FSH level is not elevates at this time. Record the results and see the chart below to interpret result.
Invalid: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control the failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
