This test provides physicians' offices, clinical laboratories and outpatient sites with the ability to provide fast and accurate screening for urinary tract infections. Accutest Uriscreen negative predictive value (NPV) of at least 95%, was higher than the NPV of the dipstick.
Features and Benefits
- Visual results within 2 minutes.
- Easy to use, perfect for outpatient settings.
- Improved performance over routine urinalysis.
- Exceptionally sensitive for low bacterial counts. (5x104 CFU/ml at 93% sensitivity)
- Efficient way to screen out negative specimens and determine the need for further testing.
- Early diagnosis prevents unnecessary treatment and minimizes costly complications of urinary track infection.
Test Principals
- Urine specimen is mixed with test reagent powder, enabling catalase detection.
- Small amount of hydrogen peroxide solution is added to contents and mixed.
- Quantity of foam indicates test results.
Materials Included

- 1 Dropper Bottle - 10% hydrogen peroxide solution
- 20 disposable 2ml pipettes
- 1 instruction manual
Note: Negative control solution and impregnated discs for reconstruction of a positive control are also required. (Sold separately)
