The use of urine test strips is acknowledged as modern screening method in medical practice. With these non-invasive tests important information on the health status of the patient is rapidly obtained. The urine sample is easily drawn and can immediately be investigated with a test strip. Thus one obtains within minutes a result, whichfacilitates the decision for further diagnostic and therapeutic action. Only on pathological results for certain parameters, a subsequent, e.g. microscopic, examination of the urine is necessary. If the test strip result is without pathological finding and the patient is not clinically conspicuous, further time- and cost-intensive investigations, can often be avoided. This saves considerable costs for the healthcare system and spares the patient unnecessary examinations. Urine test strips from MACHEREY-NAGEL are especially user-friendly. Due to the high resistance towards interferences by ascorbic acid, a second testing for sensitive parameters such as blood or glucose is unnecessary in most cases. The optimised, flexible shape of the test strips also allows the examination of very small amounts of urine. This is an indispensable advantage, especially in the field of pediatrics.
