- 1 - Abstract Method and kit for pregnancy detection adapted for self-performance. Urine to be tested is contacted with a lectin substrate being lectin bound to a solid support and capable of binding HCG. After separation of the lectin substrate from the urine the substrate is contacted with a liquid colour reagent comprising a coloured carrier material and anti-HCG antibodies bound thereto. If after separation of the coloured reagent from the substrate the latter remains coloured, the subject is pregnant, while lack of colour indicates non-pregnancy. A preferred colour reagent comprises killed and stained Staphylococci bacteria. There is also provided a kit for self-performance of the method comprising at least one column packed with a lectin substrate and adapted for the controlled passage of liquid therethrough, and a colour reagent.
