Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is used in clinical medicine as a particularly important indicator to determine pregnancy.

The HCG in the dried urine spot on a car seat was detected using an immunochromatography kit. It was found that the HCG in urine can be detected for much longer periods of time than the previously reported period of approximately 6 months.
