We have recently started using the ELECSYS 1010/2010 to assay Intact HCG as
a replacement for the ICON qualitative assay. Unfortunately, we have not
been able to find any information about the validity of the urine assay.
Is anybody else measuring urine HCG on the ELECSYS? Are there any pitfalls
measuring urine, and is there a cutoff to indicate pregnancy or is the 25
mIU/mL cutoff still used.
Thank you for any information.
