Product Description
The kit has been designed for the quantitative determination ofhuman chorionic gonadotropin (-subunit) (HCG/-HCG) inhuman serum.The method can be used for samples over the range of 1.25-5000mIU/ml.The test has to be performed on the Fully-autochemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) analyzer MAGLUMI(Including Maglumi 600,Maglumi 1000,Maglumi 1000 Plus,Maglumi 2000,Maglumi 2000 Plus,Maglumi 3000 and Maglumi4000).
HCG is a dimeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 37,000
Dalton consisting of an and a β -subunit. The subunit of HCG
is nearly identical with the analogous subunit of the pituitary
hormones LH, FSH, and TSH.
HCG is produced by the syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta and
can be detected in maternal serum immediately upon nidation.
