Executive Summary
Boehringer Mannheim US has launched a five-minute doctors' office pregnancy test. Boehringer says AccuStat is 99% accurate and can detect hCG down to 25 international units - which is normally reached about ten days after conception. The German company also claims that the dip-and-read kit is more environmentally-friendly than other tests, because it uses less packaging. The test retails at $24 for a 15-strip vial and $72.50 for 50 strips.
