Abstract
There are two types of test cards offered for UDT, both of which differ only in regard to how the specimen is being handled.
In this test the user has to remove the cap from the test device and hold the absorbent tip into the urine for 10–15 s. There is no protective cap with every single test (Fig. 12).
By using a pipette three drops of urine are dropped into each well. (Fig. 12). In both instances the results can be read after 5–10 min.
