Teco Diagnostics is proud to introduce our complete line of Urinalysis products. From our world renowned Urine Reagent Strips (URS) to our semi-automated Urine Strip Readers.
Method:
Color Indicator
Testing Procedure:
Manual
Storage Temperature:
15‐30°C
Expected Values/Sensitivity:
Glucose: Concentrations as little 0.1g/dL may be significantly abnormal if found
consistently (100mg/dL sensitivity)
Ketone: No ketones in normal urine (5‐10mg/dL sensitivity)
Blood: No blood in normal urine (0.015mg/dL sensitivity)
pH: Newborn: 5.0‐7.0; Thereafter: 4.5‐8.0 ; Average: 6.0 (quantitative differentiation of
values to one unit)
Protein: 1‐14mg/dL may be excreted by the normal kidney (15mg/dL sensitivity)
Limitations of Procedure:
Glucose: Moderate amounts of ketone bodies (40mg/dL or greater) may decrease color
development in urine containing small amounts of glucose (75‐125mg/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.
