Abstract: The subject invention is an immunoassay for the semi-quantitative test kit for determination of human chrionic gonadtropin (hCG) in fluid sample (such as urine) as an aid in the diagnosis of a certain stage of pregnancy. The test device includes five strips having each having a dipping end or sample ends where sample can be applied. Results are indicated by coloration of two bands across a clear area of the strips, one band being coated with a reagent such as hCG antigens and the other with a reagent such as goat/rabbit polyclonal antibody gold conjugate. The combination of color indications on the bands provides the test results.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices and methods for the detection of occult blood in a test sample. These devices and methods can detect the presence of one or more of the following components of occult blood: hemoglobin, transferrin, hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex, and albumin. Methods for the detection of occult blood in a test sample include the following steps: exposing said test sample to two or more of the following antibodies: anti-hemoglobin antibodies, anti-hemoglobin-haptoglobin-complex antibodies, anti-transferrin antibodies, and anti-albumin antibodies or one or more of the following antibodies: anti-hemoglobin-haptoglobin-complex antibodies, anti-transferrin antibodies, and anti-albumin antibodies; determining the level of reactions between the antibodies and their corresponding components of occult blood that may be in the test sample; and deciding on the presence of occult blood.
