Accurex Urinalysis Reagent Test Strip

Accurex Urinalysis Reagent Test Strip are firm plastic strips onto which several separate reagent areas are affixed. The test is used for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of one or more of the following analytes in urine: Blood, pH, Nitrite and Leukocytes. The Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Line) are for single use in professional near-patient (point-of-care) and centralised laboratory locations. Urine undergoes many changes during states of disease or body dysfunction before blood composition is altered to a significant extent. Urinalysis is a useful procedure as an indicator of health or disease, and as such, is a part of routine health screening. The Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine) can be used in general evaluation of health, and aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic or systemic diseases that affect kidney function, endocrine disorders and diseases or disorders of the urinary tract.

Uses:
This test kit is used to diagnose conditions that can be detected through urine analysis.

Product Specifications and Features:

• The test kit is used for fast screening of diabetic neuropathy, glucose, protein, ketone, and microalbumin
