how sensitive is this test compared to the cup tests

Its just like taking a cup test, i got my results in a matter of seconds. no brain work to it at all.

it is just as effective. I use it for my 17 year old daughter and it is accurate as can be. as a matter of fact she tested positive (we knew she would) and within one month she was testing negative. this was verified with an in-office test at her doctor's office the next day. I have not had any problems with the results of these tests. they have proved to be accurate so far. it is a simple test to take, it reminds me of a pregnancy test you pee on the stick and that's it

Don't buy l. These things will come up positive even if you're not. Unwanted stress is brought

I would still use them. As long as you don't get an invalid result as indicated on the packaging I would think they are still good tests.

The test will just tell you if there is any in the water or none, that's pretty much it. If you need a clear answer you need to have the tested by a local lab. Some pool stores actually test well water for you if you ask them and their results are a little more accruate than this testing but of course not as detailled as what you would get from a lab.

Sorry but I am not a doctor and therefore would not feel confident in providing you a accurate answer. I can tell you though that the test did work exactly how it promised to. So take that for what it's worth. Hope that helps.

Not sure. Pretty sure I had some faulty test kits. No sure if it works it not. I read the reviews on my test kits and I'm pretty sure it was those that were bad.

I don't know but if you are hoping to pad a test using this I wouldn't recommend it. I'm 5'10" 165 with a thin build and low body fat. I exercised with garbage bags to remove excess water weeks in advance as well as abstained. I follow directions to a t and did not pass the test. I'd recommend spending the money for this product on a clean friends sample and substituting as it is very simple and most tests don't require supervision ;)

I tested it with Arriva and ReliOn lancets, though I think any standard lancets should work just fine. As for sizes, you'll want no thicker than 30 gauge (32 gauge is thinner, but can bend easier while 26 gauge is thicker and more painful). For getting less painful pricks, aim for the sides of the fingertips and not the front of the fingertip itself (that is where all the nerve endings are). Some devices support alternate site testing, but your most accurate reading will always come from the blood in your fingertips first.

It's not reAlly that easy. Pain in our booty actually so we tried each test once and haven't used it since. We have used some that you simply dip and then read. Much easier. This is add this amt of water then shake then one or two drops of that thn stir then more water then wait. No time for all that!! Each test may be less than five mins each once you get it down but all of them together are 20 min +. We like the dipstick tests better. Cost more but well worth it.

I am not a fan of the mess of midstream so I always used a plastic cup. But I believe it's 3 seconds (enough to saturate it). Probably more accurate if you cup test.

I used a short term test like the one from First Alert to validate the readings in my basement and it came out accurate. Make sure that you carefully place the unit because placement can effect the readings. 25 is pretty high but certainly in the range of possible - don't ignore it !

The only thing you can do os test it! Depending on the severity of allergy! As far as it saying something no.

Yes...I've done it first thing in the morning and got a good reading. My body was more on the acidic side (not good) so I added lots of veggies to my diet and now I'm optimal. The strips were tested by me with both urine and saliva and both readings were identical

I can tell you they're not as sensitive as clearblue plus. I took 2 of these before I took a clearblue plus. It was strongly positive, I retook this test and could BARELY see a line at all. I guess if you are okay with waiting a few extra days these will do. But for those of us that hate waiting, you might as well spring for something better. I'm convinced I would've gotten a positive a few days earlier had I started with a better test. Clearblue is 25 mIU, so I imagine this is more than that. Either that or quality control just stinks.

I found it to be sensitive, but waited until I was 2 weeks post ovulation to take a pregnancy test. It was the first test I took and it accurately indicated that I was pregnant. The ovulation tests are awesome too! GL :)

To my experience, not at all. I bought a OneTouch Ultra 2 which is close to Accu-Chek Aviva Plus but slightly lower at each test. My TrueResult has way lower readings compared to the other two. I even bought additional test strips to test TrueResult to see if it was wrong with my previous test strips, still not good either, just very inaccurate.

I misplaced mine for a day so I picked up another one (since it is cheap) and when I found the first one I compared the 2 and found a 28 point difference between them from the same blood drop on 2 different test strips (meaning I lanced once and some of the blood went to one strip and then put the other strip to the same lance location.)

It is very easy to use! No cup needed. It is a longish handled test strip that is held in the urine stream. And my Dr. told me that they are very accurate, as they test for two separate markers to determine if you have a UTI!
