The Pharmavital Early Pregnancy Test is a pregnancy test that you can easily use yourself. With a reliability of over 99% from the due date of the period, the Pharmavital Early Pregnancy Test detects an increased hCG level from 10 mlE/ml. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the developing placenta shortly after conception and excreted in the urine. The Pharmavital Early Pregnancy Test contains antibodies that react specifically with this hormone. When urine is applied to the strip, the urine sample is activated by capillaries to migrate along the membrane. When the hCG in the sample reaches the test area of the membrane, a colored line appears. If this line is missing, the test result is negative. As a control, a colored line appears in the control area if the test was performed correctly. The Pharmavital early pregnancy test reliably detects an elevated hCG level.
