Rapid Pregnancy Detection Kits Developed by Iranian Researchers

‘Zist Abzar Pazhuhan’ company has made the product which is a rapid pregnancy kit containing metal nanoparticles.

The used nanoparticles are typically bound to the antibodies to evaluate the release level of HCG hormone and determine if the person is pregnant.

The application of metal nanoparticles in the pregnancy detection kits increase the precision and is necessary to bind the desired antibodies and pave the way for the HCG hormone detection.

All pregnancy tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), which starts to be produced around 6 days after fertilization.

There are two main types of pregnancy tests — urine tests and blood tests. Often, you’ll take a urine test at home with a home pregnancy test. This type of test is available over the counter (you don’t need a prescription from your healthcare provider) and in a variety of price ranges.

Blood tests to check for pregnancy happen in your healthcare provider’s office and involve giving a sample of your blood.
