# 8. Test Principle
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Shinetell Plus™ Digital Early Pregnancy Test uses lateral flow immunoassay and light reflection for the detection of the HCG in urine specimens. After the appropriate urine sample is added to the absorbent tip, the clock symbol will appear and blink on the Display Screen after urine is applied, indicating the test is working. The HCG in urine specimen will react with the anti-β-HCG antibody-colloidal gold conjugate and form a compound. As the liquid flows to the Test area of the test strip, the compound will be captured by the anti-α-HCG antibody immobilized on the Test area, then a colored line will be formed on the Test area.
The test would detect the light intensity by using the LED as the light source. The
{6}
background of the LED lighted zone will be darker due to the color of colloidal gold conjugate, and the intensity of the reflected light received by the photodiode decreases significantly. By detecting the signal parameter of the reflected light intensity, which is decreasing significantly, the test can determine that the sample is added properly. The LED light will irradiate the test strip and then be reflected to the photodiode and the photodiode can respond to the different light intensity value by testing the intensity of reflected light.
In approximately 3 minutes, the result will be shown on the display screen. If test value is over the preset threshold, the test result is positive and "Pregnant" is displayed on the screen. Otherwise, the result is negative and "Not Pregnant" is displayed on the screen.
If the sample is added improperly, the background color of the LED lighted zone does not decrease significantly. By detecting the signal parameter of the reflected light intensity, which isn't decreasing significantly, the test can determine that the sample is added improperly, and the test will be invalid and “?” is displayed on the screen
