Abstract
A method that provides techniques for determination of urinary constituents (Blood (Red Blood Cells/Hemoglobin), Leukocytes, pH, Specific Gravity, Bacterial Reductase/Nitrite/Indole activity, Total Ketone Bodies, Protein, and Glucose) at low chemically significant levels with a carrier independent reagent system that can be placed on a high throughput autoanalyzers. Thus, giving the analyst the ability to run multiple urinary assays on a single sample of urine simultaneously with the ability to compare to reference standards on the same run. This system is designed to neutralize urinary interfering substances. This method is fast, efficient, an adaptable to many of the currently available discrete and continuous flow automated analyzers, effective at sample to reagent ratios of 1 to 13 or more. This method is applicable to samples with high turbidity, high ionic strength, high color content, wide pH extremes, and buffer strengths, among other interfering substances.
