Nowadays, technology is very advanced, and what people used to do in hospitals can now be done at home. At the hospital, we have to register and queue up, and most importantly, we have to pay a lot of money. However, at home, we only need to buy a pregnancy test stick, and when one day, we can drop a few drops of urine to see if we are pregnant. So some friends have asked, how to make a simple pregnancy test stick?
How to make a simple pregnancy test stick
The usage method of pregnancy test paper is as follows: tear open the packaging aluminum film bag from the gap, take out the test pen and remove the cover. When urinating, let the urine drip onto the suction port of the test paper and maintain a urine collection time of 2-3 seconds (please note not to exceed the arrow when collecting urine to avoid wetting the display window). Then put on the cover and continue to hold or place the test pen flat. When you see a purple red liquid flowing through the display window, it will appear within 0 seconds to 1 minute, and the result will be judged within 5 minutes.
There are three possible test results: negative: a purple red line (control line C) appears in the test area, indicating non pregnancy. Positive: Two purple red lines (control line C and detection line T) appear in the testing area, indicating pregnancy. Invalid: If there is no purple red line in the testing area or only one purple red line (detection line T line) appears in the testing area, it indicates that the detection has failed or the test paper is invalid and should be retested.
Currently, the production of pregnancy test papers generally requires strict procedures and can also be done in the laboratory. However, it is still quite difficult to make homemade pregnancy test paper at home, and there is no method that can provide homemade pregnancy test paper yet.
What to pay attention to when using a pregnancy test stick
1. Check if the pregnancy test stick has expired.
2. When using a pregnancy test stick, pay attention to the production date on the packaging box and do not use expired test cards, as chemical agents will become ineffective over time.
3. Read the instructions carefully before the pregnancy test.
4. To reduce the probability of inaccurate testing, carefully read the instructions on the test card before going to the bathroom for specific operations, and then follow the instructions carefully and cautiously.
5. Try to use the first morning urine for testing. At this time, hormone levels are easiest to detect.
6. Don't drink too much water, as it dilutes hormone levels.
7. If you take medication that may affect the test results, such as hormone drugs, the pregnancy test stick may be inaccurate.
It is recommended that everyone still buy a pregnancy test stick, as it is done at home and there is no safety guarantee. Having a baby is a big deal, so it's better to be safe and go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't worry if you're not pregnant, after all, children can't be in a hurry either. After all, this is a matter for two people, and one person cannot be in a hurry.
