Principle

In the FSH Rapid Test strip and cassette, monoclonal antibody colloidal gold particles are embedded in the Sample Well area. After urine specimen is added, the FSH, if present at higher level than 25 mIU/ml, will bind with the particles, and the complex will move along the membrane. When reaching the testing line region, the complex will be caught by the pre-coated monoclonal antibody, and a pink line then develops, indicating a positive result.
