Siemens 2591U Ictotest Reagent Tablets & Mats For Urinalysis - Box of 100

The Siemens 2591U Ictotest Reagent Tablets and Mats are essential components in the detection of bilirubin in urine. As part of a reliable diagnostic solution, these reagent tablets are specifically designed for qualitative urinalysis, aiding in the detection of liver conditions, biliary tract disorders, and other medical conditions related to bilirubin metabolism. The Ictotest is widely used in clinical laboratories and medical practices, providing accurate and dependable results for healthcare professionals.

Key Features and Benefits

1. High Sensitivity for Bilirubin Detection: The Siemens Ictotest reagent tablets are highly sensitive to bilirubin, a critical marker for liver function. Even small amounts of bilirubin in urine can indicate liver dysfunction or obstructive jaundice. The Ictotest can detect as little as 0.05 mg/dL of bilirubin, making it an ideal choice for early diagnosis of liver conditions.

2. Confirmatory Testing for Urinalysis: The Ictotest is used as a confirmatory test when bilirubin is detected in a routine dipstick urinalysis. It provides a more specific and reliable result, reducing the chance of false positives that can sometimes occur with dipstick tests. The Ictotest is particularly useful in clinical settings where precise results are needed to guide diagnosis and treatment.

3. Simple and Reliable Procedure: The Ictotest procedure is straightforward, requiring only a few steps. A urine sample is applied to the special test mat, followed by a drop of water and the reagent tablet. If bilirubin is present, a color change will occur, indicating the presence of bilirubin. This simple, visual color reaction provides clear and unambiguous results, making it easy for healthcare providers to interpret.

4. Clear and Distinct Color Reaction: The Ictotest produces a distinct blue or purple color when bilirubin is present, which contrasts sharply against the test mat. This clear color differentiation minimizes interpretation errors and ensures that results are accurate and consistent, even in low-light environments.

5. Non-Hemolyzed and Hemolyzed Bilirubin Detection: The Siemens Ictotest is capable of detecting both conjugated (direct) and unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin in urine. This broad detection capability makes it a valuable tool for assessing various liver and biliary conditions, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and gallstones.

6. Compact and Convenient Packaging: The Ictotest kit comes with reagent tablets and specially designed mats, all contained in a compact, easy-to-store package. This setup is ideal for both high-volume laboratories and smaller clinical practices that require consistent and reliable bilirubin testing.

Applications in Clinical Diagnostics

The Siemens 2591U Ictotest Reagent Tablets and Mats are primarily used in:

Liver Function Testing: Assessing liver health by detecting bilirubin in urine, a key indicator of liver dysfunction.
Biliary Tract Evaluation: Identifying conditions such as gallstones or bile duct obstruction that lead to bilirubin buildup.
Routine Health Screenings: Used in general health checkups to detect underlying liver issues before symptoms become apparent.

The Siemens 2591U Ictotest Reagent Tablets and Mats provide a reliable, easy-to-use solution for bilirubin detection in urine. Their high sensitivity, clear results, and straightforward application make them an indispensable tool in medical diagnostics. Whether used in hospital laboratories or point-of-care settings, the Ictotest offers consistent performance that healthcare providers can trust when evaluating liver function and related conditions.
