Now, a newly developed advanced 4th generation urine dipstick test (LIPOstix) can be employed as a very accurate marker of fat metabolism (burning fat) and hydration. This product, which incorporates molecular principles for the first time, detects the major ketone bodies b-hydroxybuterate and acetoacetic acid in urine, and can thus be used as a measuring tool for adherence to low-carbohydrate diet, or to verify the efficacy of an exercise programme in conjunction with diet. At the same time, it is an invaluable tool helping the individual to monitor and maintain optimal hydration through measuring the specific gravity of the urine, an essential component of any serious weight loss program.

6. LIPOstix
 A newly developed advanced 4th generation urine dipstick
test called LIPOstix can be employed as a very accurate
marker of fat metabolism (burning fat) and hydration.
 Lipostix, which incorporates molecular principles for the first
time, detects the major ketone bodies b-hydroxybuterate and
acetoacetic acid in urine, and can thus be used as a measuring
tool for adherence to low-carbohydrate diet, or to verify the
efficacy of an exercise programme in conjunction with diet.
 At the same time, it is an invaluable tool helping the individual
to monitor and maintain optimal hydration through
measuring the specific gravity (concentration) of the urine, an
essential component of any serious weight loss programme.

7. SPORTstix
 A performance optimising tool for athletes
 Proteinuria, haematuria, ketosis and dehydration are
common during exercise.
 A simple non-invasive urine dipstick test (SPORTstix) is a
highly effective tool in monitoring performance parameters
in athletes and individuals involved in exercise.
 It aims to help the individual to maintain an optimal
physiological condition through monitoring the appearance
of protein, blood and ketones in the urine.
 It is an invaluable tool in ensuring proper re-hydration after
exercise.

8. Test-it Adulteration Tests
 For drug screening programs.
 Test-it Urine Adulteration Tests are ideal screening tests to
determine if urine samples have been diluted or manipulated.
 They are primarily indicated as initial tests prior to drug
screening. A diluted and/or chemically manipulated urine
sample can be identified through determination of specific
parameters.
 Abnormal levels of physiological parameters and/or the
presence of compounds not normally found in urine can be
used to identify manipulated or 'adulterated' urine.
 The following parameters are available: Specific gravity,
Creatinine, pH, Nitrites, Glutaraldehyde, Oxidisers

9. Test-it Urinalysis
 Ideal for Primary Screening
 Test-it™ urine strips are ideally suited for rapid and accurate
screening of urine to detect abnormalities in the urine that
cover diseases of the kidneys, urogenital tract, carbohydrate
metabolism disorders (i.e. diabetes mellitus), liver diseases
and haemolytic disorders.
 This enables the primary health care worker to identify
abnormalities in the urine at an early stage, enabling
treatment to start early in order to prevent or delay serious
complications.

10. What does Test-it Urinalysis test for?
 Glucose  Urobilinogen
 Ketones  Specific gravity
 Protein  Blood
 pH  Ascorbic acid
 Nitrite  Creatinine
 Leucocytes  Calcium
 Bilirubin

11. Benefits of using Test-it Urinalysis
 Test-it™ urinalysis products are extremely sensitive in detecting abnormal parameters in a urine sample,
which will cause distinct colour changes in the test fields, making urine testing with Test-it™ strips the first
step in accurate and reliable diagnosis in all settings, including hospitals, practices and laboratories alike.
 High specificity - Thanks to the advanced chemical formulae used in Test-it™ urine strips, cross-reactions
and false positives are kept to an absolute minimum.
 Interference of Ascorbic Acid - Test-it™ strips limit the interference of low concentrations of ascorbic acid
with both glucose and haemoglobin determinations. An additional ascorbic acid parameter is provided on
some product combinations to alert the user if excessive amounts of ascorbic acid are present in the urine
that could have an effect on the accuracy and reliability of glucose and haemoglobin determinations.
 Economic - Test-it™ strips do not require refrigeration and are stable for 2 years from date of manufacture.
 Quick Results - Test-it™ strips allow simultaneous reading of all reagent pads at 60 seconds, except for
leukocytes that could be read at 120 seconds to allow for detection of weak positives.
 Cap containing desiccant - Test-it™ urinalysis tubes are supplied with a cap containing aggressive moisture
absorbing (desiccant) material. The desiccant ensures that a low humidity environment is always present in
the tubes and enhances the shelf life of the test strips.
 UV Protected tube - Each Test-it™ urinalysis tube is carefully pre-treated with a special chemical to prevent
UV damage to the strips.
 High quality colour chart - Most urine strip manufacturers offer colour labels of inferior print quality. Test-
it™ colour labels utilise a unique and high quality printing process, ensuring a perfect match between strip
colour reactions and corresponding colours on the colour label. Test-it™ urinalysis strips provide the most
precise and best-defined colours available of all urinalysis products on the market.
