The ProFecund ovulation test is a rapid immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection in urine of luteinizing hormone (LH) to facilitate the detection of ovulation.

Principle of action

The ProFecund ovulation test is a rapid immunocromat matographic (CIA) test for qualitative determination of LH in urine. During testing, the urine sample will react with colored conjugate (anti-LH monoclonal antibody), which was presed on the test strip. The mixture then climbs through the capillary on the chromatographic membrane.

For a positive result, a red colored band will be formed by the reaction with the specific colored conjugate complex of the LH antibody, in the region of the membrane test strip (two lines will appear). The intensity of the color of the test line will be the same or stronger than that of the control line. For a negative result, the intensity of the color of the test line is lower than that of the control line.

Performance features

Sensitivity

The ProFecund ovulation test detects urinary concentrations of LH equal to or greater than 20 mIU/ml by the appearance of a red-colored band in the test region.

Accuracy

The accuracy of the results obtained by the ProFecund ovulation tests was verified by comparison with the qualitative visual test. The results indicate 100% compatibility.

Specificity

The specificity of the ProFecund ovulation test was determined by studies of cross-reactivity with other hormones commonly present in urine (HCG, hFSH, hTSH). Negative results have been obtained for all these hormones.
