Suresign Pregnancy Test Strips are a budget-friendly, highly accurate home diagnostics solution designed to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. They offer over 99% accuracy when used from the first day of a missed period and can provide results in just 3 minutes. With an enhanced sensitivity level that detects hCG at 15mIU/mL, these strips allow for early testing up to 4 days before an expected period.
How to Use the Test Strips
To ensure precise and reliable findings
-
Collect a sample: Urinate into a clean, dry cup or container.
-
Dip the strip: Remove the test strip from its foil pouch and submerge the absorbent tip into the urine for 10 seconds. Crucially, do not dip past the MAX line printed on the strip.
-
Wait on a flat surface: Remove the strip, place it horizontally on a clean, flat, non-absorbent surface, and start a timer immediately.
-
Read at 3 minutes: Read the lines exactly at the 3-minute mark. Disregard any shifts or faint lines that appear after 10 minutes, as drying urine can cause false evaporation lines.
Reading Your Results
The test window utilizes colored lines across a Control Region (C) and a Test Region (T) to indicate your status:
-
Pregnant (Positive): Two distinct colored lines appear—one in the Control Region (C) and one in the Test Region (T). They do not need to match in darkness; even a faint test line signifies a positive result.
-
Not Pregnant (Negative): Only one colored line appears in the Control Region (C). No line is visible in the Test Region (T).
-
Invalid: No line appears in the Control Region (C). Even if a line shows up in the test area, the lack of a control line means the strip failed, and you must retest using a new kit.
Tips for Maximizing Accuracy
-
Use first morning urine: If you are testing early or before your period is due, your first urine of the day contains the highest concentration of hCG.
-
Limit fluid intake: Avoid drinking excessive amounts of water or liquids right before taking the test, as overhydration can dilute hormone levels and trigger a false-negative result.
-
Verify the expiry date: Always check the outer packaging to confirm the kit has not expired, as degraded chemical components compromise reliability.
