Frequently asked questions
Does this strip require an expensive analyzer?
No, this system is specifically designed for visual reading. You do not need any automated laboratory equipment to interpret the results, making it a highly portable and cost-effective solution.
Is this test kit suitable for point-of-care settings?
Yes, it is perfectly suited for professional environments, including:
- Urgent care centers
- Physician offices
- Clinics
Its CLIA-waived status confirms its clinical utility for efficient, point-of-care renal screenings.
What markers are detected by these reagent strips?
These strips provide a semi-quantitative analysis of two key renal markers:
- Microalbumin
- Creatinine
By measuring the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, healthcare providers can quickly assess renal function.
How are the results interpreted manually?
The bottle label serves as a diagnostic reference guide. It features a color-coded chart that correlates the color changes on the strip directly to specific concentrations (mg/L, g/L, and mmol/L).
What is the recommended storage temperature for these strips?
To maintain the integrity of the reagents, the strips must be stored in conditions between 15°C and 30°C. It is also essential to keep them away from direct sunlight.
Are there specific handling precautions to ensure accuracy?
To prevent moisture degradation, please follow these storage guidelines:
- Replace the cap immediately after every use.
- Do not remove the desiccant from the bottle as it is vital for keeping the strips stable.
Is this product manufactured to high quality standards?
Yes, these strips are proudly manufactured in the United States by Germaine Laboratories Inc., ensuring consistent quality for professional clinical use.
Are the strips designed for multiple uses?
No, each reagent strip is intended for single-use application only to ensure accuracy and prevent cross-contamination in testing.
What is the total test count per bottle?
Each container includes 25 reagent test strips, providing a sufficient supply for your renal screening needs.
How quickly can renal markers be assessed?
The system is designed for immediate manual interpretation, allowing for rapid determination of the albumin-to-creatinine ratio during patient visits without waiting for off-site laboratory results.
