A screen pH paper is used to determine leukocyte, blood, nitrite and protein levels in the urine specimen obtained. Leukocytes: This test reveals the presence of granulocyte esterases. Positive results produce a beige-pink to purple colour. The presence of leukocytes in urine are important signs of an inflammation of the kidneys and the urinary tract. Blood: This test is based on the peroxidase-like activity of haemoglobin. The resulting colour ranges from orange to green to dark blue in positive tests. Nitrite: This test depends upon the conversion of nitrate to nitrite by the action of Gram negative bacteria in the urine. Positive results produce a pink colour. Protein: This reaction reveals pH indicator colours from yellow to green-blue for positive results. Protein in the urine may be found where there is inflammation of the bladder or prostate or bleeding in the urinary tract.

Care Instructions
1. Open the foil pouch and take out the test strip. Do not touch the test fields. Once the pouch is opened, it is recommended to perform the test immediately. 2. Dip the test strip in the urine sample. ATTENTION: Press the strip and make sure that all four test fields are immersed for about 1-2 seconds. 3. Then remove the test strip and wipe off any surplus urine against the rim of the container or with an absorbent material (e.g. a paper towel) to avoid mixing chemicals from adjacent reagent areas. 4. Wait for 2 min (do not read results after 3 minutes). Read the result separately for each parameter, compare colour with the colour chart provided.
