QuickVue+ hCG Combo Test
PregnancyThe QuickVue hCG Combo Test is a sensitive immunoassay that detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum or urine for the early detection of pregnancy.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone normally produced by the placenta. Since hCG is present in the serum and urine of pregnant women, it is an excellent marker for confirming pregnancy.
The QuickVue+ hCG Combo Test is a lateral-flow test using a monoclonal antibody specific to the beta subunit of hCG to accurately detect hCG as early as 2 or 3 days before the expected menses.
