Abstract
We constructed a new type of ICT strip by replacing the conventional nitrocellulose membrane with an electrospin-coated nitrocellulose (ENC) fibrous membrane, and the ICT strip could obtain an HCG detection limit of 0.22 mIU mL<sup>−1</sup>, and an LH detection limit of 0.36 mIU mL<sup>−1</sup>.
