*NOTE: The intensity of the colour in the test line area (T) will vary depending on the concentration of blood in the sample. Therefore, any shade in the test line area (T) should be considered a positive result. |
Negative | A single coloured line appears in the control area (C). No line is visible in the test line area (T). |
Not valid | The control line does not appear. The most likely reasons for the non-appearance of the reference line are insufficient sample quantity or an incorrect procedure.
