Aschheim-Zondek test

The Aschheim-Zondek test is an obsolete pregnancy test. It is based upon the observation that when urine from a female in the early months of pregnancy is injected into immature female mice, the ovaries of the mice enlarge and show follicular maturation. The test was considered reliable, with an error rate of less than 2%.[1]
