Magnus Magnyl 5000 (HCG) pregnancy test
ad
I test my Magnyl 5000 with a pregnancy test. It was reconstitued with 1 ml bacteriostatic water. I injected 0.05 ml (250 UI) in the test and push it with 0.5 ml of destilled water. The test line color is not strong, could it be underdosified?

The Magnus HCG has over 7000 IUs, You tested wrong, you've to mix 1000IU's with at least 2cc bac water , so that the stripe is wet enough, or do a woman pees 0.05ml?
Do it again and you'll see 2nd stripe is dark too
Next time I'll try that way. How did you know the concentration? Anyway, I pushed it with 0.5 ml of water and it was enough to reach the control strip.
250iu is a very small amount, usually people will test it with 1000iu I believe. Also in my experience it doesn’t matter how faint the line is.. she’ll still be pregnant.
According to the test specifications, it is very sensitive: 25 IU/L. I believe the issue is the media conditions, as human urine has different pH and ionic strength than bac water. Next time I'll mix 250 IU with 1 ml of urine and test that mix.
And you're right: it doesn't matter how faint the line is, there's hCG in there. The only actual way to know the concentration is HPLC.
I commend your attitude
