MidStream" technology eliminates the need for urine sample collection and handling and therefore is preferred by many women for its ease of use and simplicity. Most brands available in retail stores utilize the "midstream" method for these reasons. Testing is done by removing the test from the sealed pouch, removing the cap from the capillary wick, and holding the wick directly in the urine stream for at least three - six seconds.
The One-Step Midstream test incorporates a unique sealed plastic housing over the visual test result windows eliminating the possibility of inadvertent test contamination through exposure of these sensitive development areas. The protective cap is then returned to its position over the wick and the test device is placed on a flat surface. The automatic capillary action can then be observed as the test develops. Depending on the concentration of hCG, positive results may be observed as soon as 40 seconds.  To confirm a negative result wait 5 minutes.
