Roche - Combur 9 Test Strips (x100)

Product Information

Maximum reading convenience - Combur-Test® strips allow to simultaneously read all reagent pads between 1 and 2 minutes while the long strip handle keeps fingers clear of the specimen. cytologies found that no patients with a positive cytology had a negative cystoscopic/radiological evaluation. 17 This for the use of urine cytology as a detection tool for bladder cancer. 18 Urine cytology results are also Economic efficiency - Combur-Test strips can be stored at room temperature up to 2 years. The integrated desiccant in the stopper cap minimizes costly reagent waste

levels of protein than does total urine protein quantification via PCR. 25 This is particularly important for Macroscopic: large volumes of blood in the urine, which takes on a rose or dark colour, especially if left to stand; Reliable diagnosis - Even minute pathological changes in the urine cause distinct color changes in the test fields. This makes urine testing with Combur-Test ® strips the first step on the way to a reliable diagnosis in both clinics and practices. of cancer detection when all high-risk patients proceed to cystoscopy and radiology. The role of urine cytology as an

Elevated protein concentrations produce slightly elevated specific density results as a consequence of the indicator's protein error; in addition, samples with a pH above 6.5 give lower readings as a result of the indicator's bias. For this reason the manufacturers recommend that 5 units are added to the specific gravity reading when the pH is greater than 6.5.

First and last part of urine stream is voided into the toilet to avoid contaminating the specimen with organisms presenting on the skin;

Use a fresh sample of urine (preferably less than 4 hours old or in line with the reagent strip manufacturer’s instructions to obtain accurate results. Bilirubin and urobilinogen are relatively unstable compounds when left in light or at room temperature;Microscopic: undetectable to the naked eye; reagent strips or a microscope are needed to identify it. should be approached with caution as a systolic target less than 120 mmHg is associated with an increased risk of adverse Top numbers = Grams per deciliter (g/dL) - A gram is equal to the weight of one milliliter or 16 drops of water.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is known to interfere with the oxidation reaction of the blood and glucose pad on common urine test strips. Some urine test strips are protected against the interference with iodate, which eliminates ascorbic acid by oxidation. [25] Some test strips include a test for urinary ascorbate. Specific gravity: Clinical aspects > reduced concentrating ability of the kidneys e.g., due to diabetes mellitus or ADH deficiency.

During routine screening, if a positive test for leukocytes, blood, protein, nitrite, and a pH greater than 7 is identified, the urine sediment may be microscopically analysed to further pinpoint a diagnosis.
