FAQ's of CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips:
Q: How are CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips used for kidney disease screening?
A: To screen for kidney disease, dip a single strip into the urine sample, wait 1-2 minutes, and read the results either visually using the color comparison chart or with a compatible CLINITEK Status analyzer. The strips measure microalbumin, creatinine, and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, essential indicators for detecting renal dysfunction.
Q: What parameters do the CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips test in urine samples?
A: These strips are designed to detect microalbumin (10-150 mg/L), creatinine (10-300 mg/dL), and provide the albumin:creatinine ratio, which helps evaluate kidney health and monitor early signs of damage.
Q: When should I use these reagent strips for patient testing?
A: Use the strips whenever screening diabetic or hypertensive patients for early signs of kidney disease, during routine checkups, or when clinical symptoms suggest possible renal impairment. They are suitable for use in clinical labs, hospitals, and diagnostic centers.
Q: Where can these strips be used, and what equipment is needed?
A: CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips are intended for clinical laboratories, hospitals, or diagnostic centers. They can be read visually or with CLINITEK Status analyzers; no specialized wall-mounted equipment is needed, supporting portability and flexible operation.
Q: What is the proper process for conducting quality control with these strips?
A: Quality control instructions are included in the package insert. Follow the recommended procedures to ensure accuracy, using control solutions as per guidelines, and always store strips at 2-30C, away from sunlight and moisture, to maintain their reliability.
Q: What are the benefits of using CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 Reagent Strips?
A: The strips deliver rapid, semi-quantitative results, are highly accurate (conforming to clinical standards), latex-free, disposable, portable, and require minimal equipment. This facilitates early detection of kidney disease, enabling prompt and informed medical intervention.
Q: How should the strips be stored and what is their shelf life?
A: Store the strips in their sealed container with desiccant at temperatures of 2-30C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Each strip retains reliability for 18-24 months from the date of manufacture.
