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.
For details of our pregnancy tests, clear blue pregnancy kits and pregnancy testing kits, please view our product listing below.
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 its simplest terms the number (e.g. 25 mIU) is just a standardised measurement system that detects the pregnancy or ovulation 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
Essentially the higher the sensitivity the earlier you will detect your pregnancy.

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 test are also used by your doctor.

Successful
fertilisation is most likely during a 24-hour period following the
L.H. surge. Being able to predict the L.H surge is very
helpful when trying to become pregnant.

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

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%.
3.
SPECIFICITY
The
following compounds exhibited no interference when dissolved in urine, which
had HCG levels of 0 and 25 mlU/ml.
