What is the depth of pregnancy test stick
The depth of the pregnancy test stick refers to the depth of the contact between the urine and the pregnancy test stick during the pregnancy detection process. Generally speaking, pregnancy test sticks have two slots, one deep and one shallow, to facilitate testing at different stages. Darkness is a relative concept, and different depths also have an impact on the results. Therefore, correct judgment of depth is very important for the accuracy of pregnancy test results.
How to correctly judge the depth of pregnancy test stick
It is very important to correctly judge the depth of the pregnancy test stick, which will help you get accurate results. First of all, I would like to emphasize that you must carefully read the instructions for use in the manual. Generally speaking, wait patiently for a while for the urine to flow into the lighter groove, and then determine which groove matches the darker color. If they are all colored but have different shades, you can refer to the color comparison card in the instructions. If the deep grooves are colored but the shallow grooves are not, it must be a dark groove.
Factors that affect the judgment of the depth of the pregnancy test stick
Urine output: If the urine output is excessive and the shallow grooves are discolored, this may lead to errors in judgment. At this time, it should be cleaned according to the instructions and retested. If the urine output is too little and neither the deep nor shallow grooves are colored, it means you are not pregnant.
Time of use: It is generally recommended to use morning urine for testing, because the quality of urine at other times is not as good as morning urine. And you must observe according to the time on the instruction manual, do not read after the specified time.
Storage environment: You need to pay attention when storing the pregnancy test stick, and do not expose it to sunlight or high temperature. This will cause the reagent on the pregnancy test stick to become ineffective, making it impossible to accurately determine the pregnancy status.
Summary
It is very important to correctly judge the depth of the pregnancy test stick, which plays a vital role in the accuracy of the test results. At the same time, when using pregnancy test sticks, we need to pay attention to some situations to prevent inaccurate pregnancy test results due to some factors that do not comply with the rules. In general, if you follow the instructions and pay attention to the storage environment, the pregnancy test results will be more accurate and reliable.
