IB10 sphingotest® beta-hCG, is a rapid point-of-care (POC) immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in lithium heparin whole blood and plasma. The IB10 sphingotest® beta-hCG is intended for use in conjunction with the Nexus IB10 Analyzer and provides quantitative results in 20 minutes.
This test detects total hCG, measuring both the intact hCG molecule and its free beta subunit. The quantitative measurement of hCG aids in the early detection of pregnancy. This Test is designed for professional use only and may be used in hospital central laboratories and in alternate care settings such as emergency departments, critical care units, and other sites where near patient testing is practiced.
