IVD

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) refers to medical tests and procedures that are performed outside of the human body. These tests are used to detect diseases, infections, or conditions by analyzing samples such as blood, urine, or tissue.

In-vitro diagnostics (IVD) play a crucial role in the field of medical diagnostics, aiding in the detection and monitoring of various health conditions. Two prominent examples of IVD are the detection of luteinizing hormone (LH) in ovulation kits and the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in pregnancy tests. LH detection in ovulation kits is essential for women trying to conceive as it helps determine the most fertile days of their menstrual cycle. By monitoring LH levels, these kits provide accurate predictions of ovulation, increasing the chances of successful conception. Similarly, pregnancy tests utilize HCG detection to confirm pregnancy. HCG is a hormone produced during early pregnancy and its presence in a woman’s urine or blood sample indicates pregnancy. These IVD tools have revolutionized family planning and reproductive healthcare, enabling individuals to make informed decisions and seek appropriate medical guidance.
