Apex Pregnancy Test Strip – Rapid and Reliable Home Testing
The Apex Pregnancy Test Strip is a highly accurate, one-step lateral flow immunoassay designed for the early detection of pregnancy. This dipstick test works by identifying the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after an embryo attaches to the uterine lining.
Whether you are performing a test at home or in a laboratory setting, Apex provides a simple, professional-grade solution to get the answers you need quickly.
Key Features and Benefits
- High Accuracy: Offers greater than 99.9% accuracy when used according to instructions.
- Fast Results: Provides clear results within 3 to 5 minutes.
- Early Detection: Sensitive to hCG levels as low as 25 mIU/mL, allowing for detection shortly after a missed period.
- Easy to Use: A simple "dip-and-read" format that requires no complicated equipment.
- Quality Assured: NAFDAC registered (No. 03-6507) and manufactured under strict quality standards.
How to Use Apex Pregnancy Test Strip
For the best results, it is recommended to use your first morning urine, as it contains the highest concentration of the hCG hormone.
- Collect Sample: Collect a fresh urine sample in a clean, dry container.
- Dip the Strip: Remove the strip from the foil pouch and dip it vertically into the urine sample. Do not immerse past the "MAX" line.
- Wait: Leave the strip in the urine for about 10-15 seconds, then place it on a flat, non-absorbent surface.
- Read Results: Read the results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
Interpreting the Result:
- Positive (Pregnant): Two distinct colored lines appear—one in the control (C) region and one in the test (T) region.
- Negative (Not Pregnant): Only one colored line appears in the control (C) region.
- Invalid: No lines appear, or only the test line appears. Repeat with a new strip.
