Beta-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Free beta-HCG refers to the fraction of beta-HCG that is not bound to other molecules in the blood. Both are used in pregnancy testing, but free beta-HCG may be more specific in certain situations like screening for Down syndrome.
The tube for collecting blood for Beta HCG testing is typically a plain red-top tube.

They are similar. HCG tests look for the HCG hormone in either blood or urine, but it is only detected at a certain level, 20 units, I believe. Beta HCG, on the other hand, is a blood test that detects the exact amount of HCG in your bloodstream. It will give the doctor an exact number, so technically, pregnancy can be diagnosed sooner.

Some health care providers use the term "beta" to signify a beta-hcg level (blood pregnancy test).
A qualitative hCG test detects if hCG is present in the blood. The result is either positive or negative.You have had a quantitative hCG test (or beta hCG) which measures the amount of hCG actually present in the blood. A beta hCG level of 21,941mIU/ml means you are over six weeks pregnant or if you know you are less than 6 weeks, pregnant there is more than one embryo.
