Our urine test strip
An organic hydroperoxide oxidizes the indicator in the presence of hemoglobin and myoglobin. The result is a change from light yellow through a range of blue colors. A uniform blue color indicates the presence of myoglobin, hemoglobin and hemolized erythrocytes. Scattered or compacted blue spots indicates intact erythrocytes. To enhance accuracy, separate color scales are provided for hemoglobin and erythrocytes. Positive results with this test is often seen urine from menstruating females. It has been reported that urine of high specific gravity reduces sensitivity, while moderate to high levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may inhibit color formation. Sensitivity: 5 - 10 erythrocytes/ul urine Active reagent: peroxide (8% w/w); o-tolidine (70% w/w).
