Yes, I know it is a little strange to get excited about a pregnancy test, but I am a geek at heart and can’t help being amazed my technology.
So, normal pregnancy test: pee on the strip and wait for the chemicals in your body to activate the colors, double lines, happy face, whatever.
The PTeq Pregnancy test looks like works like a USB key.
You pee on one end (the end that goes into the computer is protected with a little plastic cap so as not to be doused by liqued), stick the other into the computer, and the power will then start the electrospray ionization process.
You then get a very cool display on your computer. According to ThinkGeek, “the mass spectrometry software on the device comes with several sequenced hormones, including hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), hCG-H (hyperglycosylated hCG – for detection before your first missed period), and LH (luteinizing hormone – for detection of your most fertile days).”
