| Features and Benefits |
- Glucose: Moderate amounts of ketone bodies (40mg/dL or greater) may decrease color development in urine containing small amounts of glucose (75%XE2%X80?125mg/dL). However, such concentration of ketone simultaneously with such glucose concentration is metabolically improbable in screening
- The reactivity of the glucose test decreases as the specific gravity and/or ascorbic acid of the urine increases. Reactivity may also vary with temperature
- Ketone: Color reaction that could be interpreted as “positive%XE2%X80? may be obtained with urine specimens containing MESNA or large amounts of phenylketones or L%XE2%X80?dopa metabolite
|
- Fast, reliable results available in 1 -2 minutes
- Screens out non-infected urine samples so that only the positives need to be referred for laboratory follow-up in cases of Urinary Tract Infection
- Diabetes Management /Renal checks using microalbumin (Albumin : Creatinine Ratio) while the patient waits
|
- The reagent test pads on these reagent test strips are ready to use right from the bottle
|
- Help avoid the potentially costly consequences of missed diagnoses by virtually eliminating vitamin C interference on the glucose and blood pads
- Help avoid false negatives by detecting acetoacetic acid and acetone on the ketone reagent pad
- Promote safe and hygienic testing practice- fingers stay clear of specimen
|
- Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Reagent Strips for Urinalysis include test pads for protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrite and glucose in urine
- The strips are intended for use in at-risk patient groups to assist diagnosis in the following areas: kidney functions, urinary tract infections, carbohydrate metabolism
- Siemens Reagent Strips are ready to use upon removal from the bottle and the reagent strip is disposable
- The strips may be read visually, requiring no additional laboratory equipment for testing
- The strips can also be read instrumentally, using the CLINITEK® family of Urine Chemistry Analyzers and the appropriate software
- These tests are CLIA waived when read visually and when run on the CLINITEK Status systems and CLINITEK 50 Analyzers
