Quantitative and qualitative whole blood pregnancy testing at the point of care
Product overview
The i-STAT Total Beta-hCG cartridge is a handheld pregnancy test that uses whole blood to provide both quantitative and qualitative results in minutes. Unlike standard urine-based pregnancy tests that only give a positive or negative result, this cartridge provides an actual hCG concentration value, which is clinically important for assessing early pregnancy viability, ectopic pregnancy risk, and gestational age estimation.
Expand your point-of-care testing capacity with refurbished i-STAT analyzers
If your facility relies on the Abbott i-STAT system for point-of-care testing, Block Scientific can help you increase your testing capacity at a fraction of the cost of buying new. The Abbott i-STAT is one of Block Scientific's Centers of Excellence analyzers, which means we carry deep inventory, provide factory-level refurbishment, and back every unit with comprehensive service and support.
Adding refurbished i-STAT 1 or i-STAT Alinity instruments to your fleet lets you deploy more analyzers across departments, satellite locations, or mobile units without the capital outlay of purchasing new. Every refurbished i-STAT from Block Scientific is thoroughly tested, calibrated, and verified to meet original manufacturer specifications before it ships.
And when you bundle your cartridge and consumable orders with refurbished instrumentation, you get the best possible pricing on both. Complete the form on this page and your local sales rep will contact you to discuss your application.
Clinical applications
Women of childbearing age represent a significant proportion of patients across emergency, surgical, and radiology settings. Until pregnancy status is confirmed, clinicians cannot make critical decisions about imaging (avoiding radiation), medication safety, surgical planning, and fetal protection. The quantitative result also supports serial monitoring in early pregnancy complications, ectopic pregnancy workup, and miscarriage assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Blood-based hCG testing detects pregnancy earlier than urine tests and provides a quantitative result (actual concentration), not just positive/negative. This is critical for clinical decision-making around ectopic pregnancy, early pregnancy viability, and pre-procedure screening where a definitive answer is needed fast.
A quantitative result gives you the actual hCG concentration in IU/L. This is important for estimating gestational age, monitoring early pregnancy viability (hCG should roughly double every 48-72 hours in early pregnancy), and evaluating for ectopic pregnancy where hCG levels may rise abnormally.
Results are available within minutes at the bedside, compared to sending a blood sample to the lab for quantitative hCG, which can take 30 minutes to over an hour.
