Whether you are trying to get pregnant or trying to keep from getting pregnant, when you miss your period you want to know immediately if you are pregnant or not. The pregnancy tests that we offer are fast, accurate (greater than 99%), reliable and an easy alternative when you require immediate discreet results in the privacy of your own home.
We are currently selling three types of pregnancy tests. They all have the same level of accuracy but vary in price and convenience. All pregnancy tests look for the presence of the hormone H.C.G. (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) in human urine. It is this hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, the further in to the pregnancy you are the higher the levels of H.C.G. in your urine.

Pregnancy Strip Tests - Select your Test Sensitivity!
How do I know what is best for me and what does this mIU stuff all mean anyway?
In it's simplest terms the number (e.g. 25 mIU) is just a standardised measurement system that detects the pregnancy hormone in your urine. The lower the number the higher the sensitivity!
Our Pregnancy Tests (2 sensitivities)
10 mIU - High sensitivity
25 mIU - Normal sensitivity - NHS Professional Tests
Essentially the higher the sensitivity the earlier you will detect your pregnancy.
To read more detailed information about what this all means and why this is important click here.
The Ultra Early 10mIU/mL tests can be used up to 4 days before your first day of missed period. The best time to use the NHS Professional 25mIU/mL tests is on your first day of missed period. These tests are also used by your doctor.
These tests are used by NHS Doctos and Hospitals across the UK.

This pregnancy test is used through out the NHS as a method of confirming a positive pregnancy. Our tests are fast, accurate (greater than 99%) and reliable.
The Clearblue DIGITAL Pregnancy Test with Conception Indicator gives you double confirmation of the result. Its Smart Dual Sensor ™ not only tells you in words if you’re pregnant or not, but if you are, it also shows you how many weeks pregnant you are.
With its advanced digital display, there’s no need to interpret lines, giving you the most accurate pregnancy test reading in early pregnancy.
A home pregnancy test measures the presence of the
hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (H.C.G.) in your urine. H.C.G. is
produced in the placenta shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. This hormone then builds up rapidly in
your body in the first few days following implantation.
Usually H.C.G. can be detected by a home pregnancy test 7-10 days after
conception. This test is capable of detecting pregnancy as early as the
first day after you miss a period. The further in to the pregnancy you
are the higher the levels of H.C.G. in your urine.
How accurate are these tests?
All our tests have proved greater than 99% accurate in
laboratory and consumer studies.
When should I do the test?
You can take these pregnancy tests from the first
day of a missed period and onwards. Tests can be taken at any time of
the day. However, we do recommend that you test first thing in the morning
when your urine is most concentrated. Do not drink large amounts of fluid
in an attempt to increase the volume of urine as this may dilute the urine
making H.C.G. more difficult to detect.
How long will it take before I can read the result?
You can read the results after just 5 minutes.
What is the difference between
home tests and those done by a doctor?
Many doctors and clinics use home pregnancy tests
to verify the results, in which case they are exactly the same. Occasionally,
some women may be given a blood test, but they aren’t very different
from home pregnancy tests either. Both types look for the presence of
H.C.G. in your body.
What should I do with my results?
If your pregnancy test results are positive, you should
consult your doctor to discuss your pregnancy and what steps and precautions
should be taken next. In addition, if your test is negative and you still
suspect you may be pregnant, you may want to confirm your test results
with another home pregnancy test a few days later. If you test too early
you may get a negative result because not enough of the H.C.G. hormone
has built up in your system.
If I see 2 lines but one is fainter than the other is
this a positive result?
Yes, if 2 lines appear you are pregnant no matter how faint
the lines appear.
Can anything affect the results of these tests?
Drinking alcohol, painkillers, oral contraceptives, antibiotics
and other common drugs will not affect the result of these tests. Only
medicines that contain H.C.G. can produce a false positive result. If
you are unsure about your result or your period has still not arrived
you should see your doctor for advice.
Ultra Sensitive 10mIU Fastest Pregnancy strip test
- CE Marked 0123
INTENDED
USE:
FASTEST One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test measures the presence
of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin
(HCG) in your urine
for the early detection of pregnancy.
SUMMARY
AND EXPLANATION:
HCG is produced by the placenta
during pregnancy, shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining.
Usually HCG can be
detected by a home pregnancy test 7-10 days after conception. The further in to the
pregnancy you are the higher the levels of HCG in your
urine.This pregnancy dip strip detects
HCG in urine
at a concentration of 10mIU/ml (MilliInternational Units) or greater.
The concentration of HCG in non-pregnant
women is normally 5.0mIU/ml. At the
time of the last missed menstrual period, urine HCG levels are about 100mlU/ml
with peak levels of 100,000 to 200,000mlU/ml seen at the end of the first
trimester
CONTENTS:
Each
pouch contains:
1. One Step HCG Urine
Pregnancy Strip Test
2. Desiccant (Discard
- Do not eat)
STORAGE
AND STABILITY:
The test kit can be stored at room temperature (4 °C to 30 °C) in the sealed pouch to the date of expiration. The test kits should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.
PRECAUTIONS:
FOR IN -VITRO DIAGNOSITC USE ONLY
Read directions for use carefully before performing this test.
Do not use beyond the expiration date on the foil pouch.
Each test strip can only be used once, do not re-use the test strips. Discard each test after use.
Do not use if the foil pouch is damaged or has been opened.
Hold the test strip by the handle only.
Once the foil pouch has been opened, the test should be used immediately.
treat urine samples and used test devices as if they are potentially infectious. Avoid contact with skin.
TEST
PROCEDURE:
1.
WHEN CAN I CARRY OUT THE TEST?
You
can take this pregnancy test from the first day after a missed period
and onwards.
2. SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
A
urine specimen must be collected in a clean and dry container. The first
morning urine specimen is preferred since it generally contains the highest
concentration of HCG; however, urine specimens collected
at any time of the day may be used.
3.
TO CARRY OUT TEST
Bring the test pouch and urine to room temperature. To begin testing, open the sealed pouch and remove the strip.
Place the test strip vertically (straight) into the urine sample, make sure the arrows are pointing down. Do not allow the urine level to go above the MAX (maximum) level line (marked by arrows) on the test strip.
Remove the strip from the urine after 10 seconds and lay the strip on a clean, dry surface.
Wait for coloured bands to appear. Depending on the concentration of HCG in the urine specimen, positive results may be observed in as short as 40 seconds. However, to confirm a negative result, the complete reaction time (5 minutes) is required. Do not read results after 10 minutes.
Discard the test after use.
4. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Negative: If
one coloured line appears in the control region on the test strip and there
is no line in the test region, then this indicates a negative result, no
HCG has been detected in the urine. This means you are either not pregnant or
you have tested too early. If you are not sure repeat the test in 48 hours.
Positive:If
two coloured lines appear on the test strip, one in the test region and
one in the control region, then this means there is a strong possibility
that you are pregnant— HCG has been detected in your urine. One line may be lighter than the other,
they do not have to match and this is still a positive result.
Invalid:If
a red line appears in the test region but there is no visible line at all in the control region
of the strip then the test is invalid. If no lines appear anywhere on the test strip then the test is
also invalid and should be repeated using another test strip.
5. QUALITY CONTROL
Built
in Quality Control Features:
After
addition of the urine sample, coloured bands migrate along the membrane
at the leading edge of the dye conjugate and are “removed” from the test
strip completely.
When
the test is complete, you will see a pink-purple coloured band in the
“C” area of the test strip on negative samples and a pink-purple coloured
band in the “T” and “C” area on positive samples. The appearance of the CONTROL band indicates
that the test
strip is performing properly and serves as a procedural control.
PERFORMANCE
CHARACTERISTICS:
1. SENSITIVITY
One
Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test will display positive results with specimens
containing HCG at the level close to or greater than 10mlU/ml.
2. ACCURACY
Comparison
studies on the One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test with a legally marketed device
were
performed in-house and in a clinical reference laboratory. Positive and
negative results were compared and the correlation was >99.5%.

PRINCIPLE:
The HCG assay is a rapid one-step
test, based on an immunochromato graphic technology. A membrane with an
absorbent pad overlapping a strip of fiber glass paper that is impregnated
with a lyophilized colloidal conjugate of gold particles and monoclonal
solid phase antibodies to HCG. Other absorbent pads at the end of the assay
absorb excess sample fluid. The urine sample is introduced into the device,
and proceeds through the absorbent pad, then laterally onto a chromatographic
membrane. As it contacts the membrane, the sample dissolves the lyophilized
conjugate. In a reactive sample, the HCG antigen will attach to the antibodies
in the colloidal solution. As the conjugate moves forward on the membrane,
anti-HCG monoclonal antibody affixed on the test zone (“T”) will bind the
HCG-gold conjugate complex, forming a pink line (“T”).
All
samples will cause a pink colored line to appear in the control zone (“C”).
This
line is formed by the binding of the polyclonal antibodies (Anti-mouse
IgG) affixed onto the control zone to the sample-colloidal gold conjugate.
Presence of this line indicates that the test has been carried out correctly.
In less than 5 minutes, levels of HCG as low as 25mlU/ml can be detected.
REAGENTS:
One
Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test strip per foil pouch.
Ingredients: Test device comprised colloidal gold coated with anti β-HCG antibody；NC
membrane coated with mouse anti α-HCG antibody and rabbit anti mouse
IgG.
LIMITATION
OF THE PROCEDURE:
1. Alcohol
may interfere with the test result. It is not recommended to use the test
after drinking alcohol.
2
.Occasionally
urine specimens containing less than 10mlU/ml also yield positive results.
3.If
you test too early HCG levels may still be low and so can give a negative
result. In this case, another urine specimen should be obtained at least
48 hours later and tested.
4.HCG
levels may remain detectable for several weeks after normal delivery,
delivery by caesarean section, spontaneous abortion or therapeutic abortion
5.In
cases where very high levels of HCG are present (>500,000mlU/ml) a
false negative result can occur due to a “Prozone” effect. If pregnancy
is still suspected, simply dilute specimen 1:1 with deionized water and
retest.
6.If
a urine sample is too dilute (ie: low specific gravity) it may not contain
a representative level of HCG. If pregnancy is still suspected, a first
morning urine sample should be obtained and retested
48 hours later.
7.As
is true with any diagnostic procedure, the user should evaluate data obtained
by the use of this kit in light of other clinical information and consult
their doctor for the final diagnosis of pregnancy before making any decision
of medical relevance.

How to Use the Test
1.Remove the midstream test from the foil pouch
2. Remove the Cap
3. Hold the midstream test by the Thumb Grip with the exposed Absorbent Tip pointing downward directly into your urine stream for at least 10 seconds until it is thoroughly wet.
4. Note: Do not urinate on the Test and Control windows. If you prefer, you can urinate into a clean and dry container, then dip only the Absorbent Tip of the midstream test into the urine for at least 10 seconds.
5. After removing the midstream test from your urine, immediately replace the Cap over the Absorbent Tip, lay the midstream test on a flat surface with the Test and Control windows facing upwards, and then begin timing.
6. As the test begins to work, you may notice a light red flow moving across the Test and Control windows. Wait at least 3 minutes for the red line(s) to appear. If no red line appears, wait one minute longer. Some positive results may be observed in 1 minute or less depending on the concentration of hCG.
7. Do not read the result after 10 minutes.
How to Read the Results
Caution
It is recommended that you do not drink water immediately
before testing. Drinking water
can result in diluting your test sample and may affect the detection of hCG. Drinking alcohol
during pregnancy may be harmful to the fetus.
Pregnancy Device Test
TO CARRY OUT THE TEST Collect a sample of urine in a plastic cup .
Bring the test pouch and urine to room temperature. Remove the cassette test device and plastic dropper from the foil pouch.
Place the
cassette test on a clean, level surface so that
the sample window and results windows
are facing up.
Collect a sample of urine (about 4 drops) in the plastic
dropper by squeezing the dropper in the cup
of urine.
Holding the dropper carefully and
vertically (straight) squeeze 4 full drops of
urine without air bubbles into the sample well
Allow each drop to soak in
before adding the next.
Wait for coloured bands to appear. Depending on the concentration of HCG in the urine specimen, positive results may be observed in as short as 40 seconds. However, to confirm a negative result, the complete reaction time of 5 minutes is required. Do not read results after 10 minutes.
Discard the test after use.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Negative:
If one coloured line appears in the control region on the test strip and there is no line in the test region, then this indicates a negative result, no HCG has been detected in the urine. This means you are either not pregnant or you have tested too early. If you are not sure repeat the test in 48 hours.
Positive:
If two coloured lines appear on the test strip, one in the test region and one in the control region, then this means there is a strong possibility that you are pregnant — HCG has been detected in your urine. One line may be lighter than the other, they do not have to match and this is still a positive result.
Invalid: If a red line appears in the test region but there is no visible line at all in the control region of the strip then the test is invalid. If no lines appear anywhere on the test strip then the test is also invalid and should be repeated using another test strip.
