Key Features of Albustix
Reagent Strips
Albustix Reagent Strips for urinalysis provide a fast, convenient
way of testing urine for the presence of protein.
Albustix is a firm plastic strip with a test area made of
special chemicals which can be used to test for protein in
urine. Test results may provide information on kidney function.
The reagent test area on Albustix is ready to use upon removal
from the bottle and the entire reagent strip is disposable.
No additional laboratory equipment is necessary for testing.
The directions must be followed exactly. The reagent strips
must be kept in the bottle with the cap tightly closed to
maintain reagent reactivity.
Directions
- Collect fresh urine specimen in a clean, dry container
- Remove one strip from bottle and replace cap.
- Dip test area of strip in urine and remove immediately.
(alternatively, wet the test area by passing strip through
urine stream.)
- Tap edge of strip against container or clean, dry surface
to remove excess urine.
- Compare test area to Colour Chart exactly 10 seconds after
wetting. Ignore colour changes that occur after 10 seconds.
