Description
Status hCG Strip is a rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine, in a dip-and-read strip format. It is CLIA waived, carries 25 mIU/mL sensitivity, and returns results in 3 to 5 minutes.
- Dip and Read Simplicity – The strip immerses directly in the urine specimen, with no cassette handling or dropper step.
- Results in 3 to 5 Minutes – The fast read keeps point-of-care pregnancy testing inside a normal rooming cycle.
- 25 mIU/mL Sensitivity – The detection threshold matches the standard early-pregnancy screening level.
Strip-Format hCG Testing for High-Volume Screening
Where pregnancy testing runs at volume, the strip format is the economical workhorse. This immunoassay qualitatively detects hCG in urine by a simple dip-and-read procedure, CLIA waived for office and clinic use. Sensitivity is 25 mIU/mL, the conventional threshold for early detection. Results appear in 3 to 5 minutes, which suits intake and pre-procedure screening queues. The distributor packaging lists 35 tests per box. Clinics that run cassettes for some settings and strips for volume keep both formats from the same Status hCG family for consistent thresholds.
Features and Benefits
Format Economics
- Strip Format – Strips strip away cassette hardware, which is why high-volume programs standardize on them.
- Quick Immersion Procedure – Dip and read handling keeps per-test staff time at the floor.
Assay Basics
- 25 mIU/mL Threshold – The sensitivity level aligns with standard early-pregnancy detection practice.
- CLIA Waived – The waived status fits offices, clinics and screening programs without laboratory complexity.

Why Choose the Status hCG Strip
Cassette hardware is wasted money at screening volume, and this strip keeps the same 25 mIU/mL threshold without it. The three-to-five-minute dip-and-read keeps queues moving in intake and pre-procedure areas. For volume pregnancy screening, that economy is the difference.
- Lowest Cost per Screen – The strip format removes cassette hardware from every test a program runs.
- Queue-Friendly Speed – Results in 3 to 5 minutes match the pace of intake screening.
- Family Consistency – The strip shares the Status hCG family's 25 mIU/mL threshold with the cassette formats.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the strip used?
The strip is dipped into the urine specimen and read directly, a dip-and-read procedure. Results appear in 3 to 5 minutes.
What sensitivity does it have?
The strip detects hCG at 25 mIU/mL. That is the standard threshold for early pregnancy detection.
Is it CLIA waived?
Yes, the strip is CLIA waived for urine testing. It suits offices and clinics as well as screening programs.
How many strips come in a box?
The distributor packaging lists 35 tests per box. Boxes are sold individually.
How does it differ from the cassette?
The strip immerses in the specimen, while the cassette takes dropped urine. Both report hCG qualitatively at 25 mIU/mL.
