Abstract: The invention relates to a proof testing method and a proof testing apparatus for optical fibre where a fibre ( 1 ) is guided to a first pulling device ( 2 ) and further to a second pulling device ( 3 ) and then onto a reel ( 11, 12 ), whereby the pulling devices subject the fibre to a desired amount of tensile strength, as a result of which the fibre breaks if the fibre ( 1 ) strength is insufficient. To achieve a continuous pulling and proof testing process, the fibre end is guided in the case of a fibre break between the first and the second pulling device ( 2, 3 ) by means of a first channel section ( 5 ), which guides the fibre to the second pulling device ( 3 ). After the second pulling device ( 3 ) the fibre end is guided into a second channel section ( 8 ) which is off the normal fibre track and along which the fibre ( 1 ) is guided into a scrap fibre processing system. At a desired moment the fibre ( 1 ) is guided from the second channel section ( 8 ) to the normal track, along which the fibre is guided onto a reel ( 11, 12 ).

Abstract: It has been found that a urine test for ovarian reserve can be provided which is equivalent in sensitivity to current laboratory methods which determine ovarian reserve based on FSH levels in serum. A lateral flow device for indicating ovarian reserve is disclosed. The device has an application zone for receiving a urine sample, a labelling zone containing label which binds to FSH in the sample, and a detection zone where FSH-bound label is retained. The detection zone has a threshold value which corresponds to a serum FSII level of between 5-20 mIU/ml (e.g. 10 mIU/ml). A test result above the threshold value indicates diminished ovarian reserve.
