What is Dipstick Testing?
Dipstick testing is a quick and reliable method for analyzing urine. These tests detect various health markers, infections, and abnormalities by using chemically treated strips that react with urine components to provide visual results.
Comprehensive List of Urine Dipstick Tests Supported by Upass
Standard Diagnostic Tests
- pH Levels: Determines the acidity or alkalinity of urine, often used to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs) or kidney stones.
- Protein (Proteinuria): Screens for protein in urine, which may indicate kidney disease or conditions like preeclampsia.
- Glucose (Glycosuria): Detects high glucose levels, commonly associated with diabetes.
- Ketones (Ketonuria): Indicates ketone buildup, which can occur in diabetes or fasting states.
- Blood (Hematuria): Detects red blood cells, suggesting infections, stones, or trauma.
- Nitrites: Identifies bacterial infections like UTIs by detecting nitrite production.
- Leukocytes: Detects white blood cells, signaling infection or inflammation.
- Specific Gravity: Measures urine concentration to assess hydration and kidney function.
Advanced Diagnostic Tests
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Checks vitamin C levels, which can interfere with certain urine tests.
- Microalbuminuria: Detects small amounts of albumin for early signs of kidney damage.
- Creatinine: Evaluates kidney function and hydration status.
- Calcium: Assesses calcium excretion, useful in diagnosing kidney stones or metabolic disorders.
- Urine Sediment Analysis: Examines crystals, epithelial cells, or casts to provide deeper insights into kidney or urinary health.
Drug Testing Applications
- 5-Panel Drug Test: Screens for THC, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP.
- 10-Panel Drug Test: Adds benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, and propoxyphene to the 5-panel list.
- Expanded Panel Tests: Includes synthetic opioids like fentanyl, MDMA, and designer cannabinoids.
Step-by-Step Tutorial: Performing Dipstick Testing with Upass
Step 1: Preparation
- Shake the Upass bottle gently to ensure contents are evenly mixed.
- Warm the bottle in the microwave for 5 seconds and attach the included heat pad to maintain temperature.
- Confirm the temperature using the indicator strip (target: 90°F–100°F).
Step 2: Conducting the Test
- Pour the synthetic urine into a sterile container.
- Dip the test strip into the sample for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 1–2 seconds).
- Remove the strip and gently shake off excess liquid.
Step 3: Reading Results
- Compare the strip to the color chart provided by the dipstick manufacturer.
- Record the results for analysis or training purposes.
Step 4: Maintain Accuracy
- Ensure proper handling of test materials for consistent and reliable results.
