Urine Reagent Strip (Blood) description:

Los Angeles-based Diagnostic Automation/Cortez Diagnostics, Inc. offers a Urine Reagent Strip (Blood) Rapid Test for the semi-quantitative and qualitative detection of Blood in urine.  The Urine Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is for in-vitro diagnostic use only.

The Urine Reagent Strip (Blood) Rapid Test is based on the pseudoperoxidase action of hemoglobin and erythrocytes which catalyzes the reaction of 3,3\', 5, 5\' -tetramethyl-benzidine and buffered organic peroxide.  The resulting colors range from orange to yellow-green and dark green.  Very high blood concentration may cause the color development to continue to dark blue.

The sensitivity of the Urine Reagent Strip (Blood) Rapid Test is reduced in urine with high specific gravity and/or high ascorbic acid content.   This test has a sensitivity to free hemoglobin of 0.015 mg/dl, or 5-10 intact red blood cells/uL urine.  This Urine Reagent Strip Diagnostic Rapid Test is slightly more sensitive to free hemoglobin and myoglobin than to intact erythrocytes.

Notable features of the Urine Reagent Test Strip (blood) Rapid Test:
    •    reliable and inexpensive
    •    easy-to-understand directions
    •    clear preparation and storage procedures
    •    simple specimen collection directions
