Stabilize Urine Specimens For Delayed Laboratory Microscopic Examination of Urine Sediment
Maintains Red and White Blood Cells in Original Condition
· Prevents the usual rapid lysis of leukocytes to assure accurate confirmation of this key indicator of urinary tract infection.
· Permits accurate counting and estimation of erythrocytes
Maintains the Morphology of Typical Formed Elements in Urine Sediment Such as Casts, Crystals and Mucous Threads
· Morphology and staining characteristics of casts and cells are retained in original condition.
· Tablet dissolves completely and does not contribute any crystals to the sediment.
Protects unrefrigerated specimens circa three days.
Maintains Most Urine Dipstick Chemistries
· Maintains most chemical constituents in urine for retesting by dipstick chemistry by preventing bacterial decomposition.
· Does not interfere with enzyme based dipstick chemistry tests, i.e. leukocyte esterase.
At recommended levels urine pH is buffered to just under neutral, and specific gravity is raised 0.002.
Maintains Other Chemistry Assay Components
· Does not interfere with certain TLC and RIA methods for assay of physiological marker compounds and drugs and their metabolytes.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
