Troubleshooting

  • If no lines appear, test is invalid. Repeat testing instructions with a new test kit.
  • Make sure that each step is followed closely, and the timer is set to the exact times noted in the instructions.
  • Too much water in the vial can dilute the reagent preventing any lines from displaying.
