| The Ictotest® uses the same chemical reaction as the bilirubin pad on the multi-reagent dipstick, but presented in a tablet format. | |
| The main advantage is that observation of the true color reaction is less affected by the inherent color of the urine itself. It is, therefore, useful in confirming or refuting apparently positive reactions on the dipstick in cases where the urine sample is deeply colored. It is also more sensitive to bilirubin than the dipstick (detects 0.1 mg/dL of bilirubin). |
|
Purple color around the tablet is a positive result.
