Evaluation of Pathstrips for semi-quantitative determination of proteinuria
Abstract:
Pathstrips semi-quantitatively determine concentration of protein in urine. The Pathstrip has a protein detection limit of 0.3 g/l and is stable at high temperature (40 degrees Celsius). Pathstrip was found favourably comparable to currently available Reagent strips for protein detection in urine (e.g. Ames Reagent strips). The Pathstrip is easy to use and add in the range of reagent strips for detection of urine protein as a test near the patient. No significant difference was obtained in semi-quantitation of urine proteins between Pathstrips and other currently available Reagent strips (e.g. Ames and BM Test).
