e-New Diagnostics

Summer Issue

 

In this issue:

  • Editor's Message
  • 'False' Pregnancy Test Result Guide
  • Easy-to-follow Instructions
  • A Multipanel Drug Test for Urine

 

Welcome to the summer edition of the e-New Diagnostics newsletter from Axis-Shield UK. This edition is dedicated to healthcare professionals who use our pregnancy test kits.

 

It is now almost a year since we introduced the Axis-Shield branded pregnancy tests and the feedback we've had has been very positive. We continue to increase our customer base.

 

From time to time we are contacted regarding a 'false' pregnancy test result, so have decided to produce a guide to help with the understanding of such results.

 

We do hope you enjoy reading e-New Diagnostics and would love to hear your feedback - sue.younghusband@axis-shielduk.com

 

Kind regards,

Sue Younghusband

Marketing Director

 

'False' Pregnancy Test Result Guide

All Pregnancy Tests are based on the detection of human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG). The presence or absence of this hormone in a sample, leading to an analytically true positive or negative test result, does not guarantee a true clinical picture. More.

A Multipanel Drug Test for Urine
