The Partus-Test is a one step mid stream stick test for the detection of phosphorylated IGFBP-1 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1) in cervial secretion. The test is performed by dipping the test strip into the extracted cervical secretion sample. A prediction can be made of premature birth, respectively the readiness of birth by intact membrane, that is confirmed by a negative test result of the actim™ PROM-Test.
