Accurex Accu-Stix Test Strip

Accurex Accu-Stix Test Strip
Glucose oxidase converts urine Glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, peroxidase converts hydrogen peroxide into the water and nascent oxygen. The nascent oxygen liberates iodine from potassium iodide to produce colours ranging from green to brown. The test is based on the principle of protein-error-of-indicator, At a constant pH the development of any green colour is due to the presence of protein. Colours change from yellow for negative through yellow-green and green to green-blue for Positive reactions.

Uses:
Accu-Stix is a test strip used for semi quantitative estimation of glucose and protein in urine.

Product Specifications and Features:

• It is a test strip used for semi-quantitative estimation of Glucose and Protein in urine

• It is a disposable ready-to-use plastic strip on which are affixed 2 reagent areas for testing: glucose and protein

• The principle used in estimating urine Glucose is Glucose oxidase/peroxidase and urine Protein Is protein-error-o/-Indicator

• It reagent areas when dipped in urine sample, provide semi-quantitative results within 30 seconds

• The Accu-Sty test strips are packed in an air-tight plastic bottle containing a desiccant

Directions For Use:

• Collect fresh, well-mixed, uncentrifuged urine in a clean and dry container

• Remove one strip from the bottle and replace cap immediately

• Dip the areas into urine for 1 to 2 seconds. While removing the Acca-Stig from urine run the edge along the containers wai and tap to remove excess urine from the strip

• Match the reagent areas near the appropriate colour chart provided on the bottle label. The protein results can be read immediately

• The glucose results should be read at 30 seconds. The colour charts should be matched under good light (but not direct sunlight)

Safety Information:

• Do not transfer the strips from its original bottle to any other bottle

• Do not remove the desiccant from bottle

• Remove Accu-Stiy for immediate use only, Replace cap promptly and tightly after removing reagent strip

• Do not store in a refrigerator. Acoustix should be stored at room temperature (under 35°C)

• Protect Accu-Stix reagent strips from moisture. This will prevent deterioration during storage

• Care must be taken not to touch the test reagent areas of unused strips

• All reagent strips must be used within 6 months from the date of opening the bottle
