Detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins as early as 28 days post-breeding and 70 days post-calving.Read results easily to make decisions quickly. Reduces animal handling and stress and decreases subjectivity and time spent training. Find open animals in just 20 minutes.

All samples and devices must be at 15 to 30 °C (59 to 86 °F) before beginning the test procedure.

• Place the Alertys OnFarm Pregnancy test device on a clean, flat surface. The device must be kept horizontal throughout the process to ensure accurate results. Write sample ID or stick ID label on the device surface. Keep single-use wash solution and pipette next to the device.
• Mix whole blood or serum samples by inverting the tube. Fully squeeze the top bulb of the pipette, submerge the pipette tip into sample tube and release the bulb to draw sample into pipette. Make sure the lower shaft of the pipette is filled completely and does not have any air pockets. Excess sample volume will go into the lower bulb of the pipette.
• Squeeze the upper bulb of the pipette to fully dispense sample into the sample port of the device. Excess sample volume will remain in the lower bulb of the pipette. Do not exceed 2 minutes between adding blood and wash solution.
• Grab and twist off the single-use wash solution tip. Hold the single-use wash solution vertically and carefully squeeze to dispense 6 drops into the sample port. The wash solution should be added within 2 minutes of sample addition.Tip: If there is pooling of the sample in the sample port after adding wash solution, gently tap the device until liquid flows through the sample port.
• Start a timer and read the device under sufficient lighting at 20 minutes. If both test (T) and control (C) lines appear before 20 minutes, the animal is pregnant, and the test is complete. If there is blood in the result window, allow an additional 5 to 10 minutes for the window to clear.
• If needed, devices can be read up to 50 minutes after the wash solution is added. After that time, results are not valid.

Presence of a red or pink test line (T) indicates that the animal is pregnant. The test line may range from dark to very light. The presence of a red or pink test line (T) at any intensity is considered pregnant.

Absence of test line indicates that the animal is open.

The test is invalid if the control line (C) does not appear.
