6 Nov 2012

Product news

A range of scientific Urine Collection Kits which offers the necessary components for safe and hygienic specimen collection and handling, with the added bonus of a primary collection tube, are now available from laboratory equipment specialists MEDLINE SCIENTIFIC.

The kits are both CE and IVD approved. They are available either plain or with boric acid and are supplied in bags of 50 to facilitate customer distribution. These comprehensive kits, which include a simple instruction leaflet, consist of a polypropylene test tube complete with cap and a flexible sample cup for easy transfer to the test tube. The test tube is labelled with all the details required for sample identification and may be placed directly into an analyser.

Designed to not only assist patients in convenient and hygienic urine collection, the kits also bring benefits to the laboratory. For example, improved base line results are achieved for the microbiologist as the primary tube provides a faster and more reliable result, saving time and money for all parties.

Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
