Urine Pregnancy Test(UPT) (UPT)

The test detects hCG using immunoassay techniques. If hCG is present, it binds to specific antibodies in the test, producing a positive result. Absence of hCG results in a negative test. This allows early detection of pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the placenta produces human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), commonly known as the pregnancy hormone. Pregnancy tests detect the presence of hCG, which can typically be identified in urine shortly after a missed menstrual period.
