Overview: This document provides detailed information on PHAN® test strips used for urine analysis, which offer a quick overview of a patient's health by detecting various parameters in urine samples.
Product Specifications: The document lists various types of test strips, each identified by a product name, catalog number, quantity, and expiration date. The strips are designed to detect different combinations of parameters such as specific gravity (SG), nitrites (NIT), pH, ascorbic acid (ASCO), protein (PRO), glucose (GLU), ketones (KET), urobilinogen (UBG), bilirubin (BIL), leucocytes (LEU), blood (BLD), microalbumin (MA), and creatinine (CRE).
Testing Parameters and Procedures: Each parameter is evaluated using specific chemical reactions, with results typically available in about 60 seconds. For example, blood is detected through the oxidation of chromogene by organic hydroperoxide, while ketones are identified using sodium nitroprusside in an alkaline buffer. The document specifies the sensitivity and specificity of each test, along with potential interferences.
Interferences and Limitations: The document highlights potential interferences that could affect test results, such as high concentrations of bilirubin, alkaline urine, and the presence of certain drugs or detergents. It also notes that all pads are protected against normal concentrations of ascorbic acid.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Erba Lachema s.r.o., the manufacturer, including their address in Brno, Czech Republic, telephone number, email, and website.
