ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a device for performing routine urinalysis. A closed integrated system enables the user to do the important variety of tests and steps during each procedure, thereby greatly minimizing the exposure of the user to the undesired contamination from the urine specimen being tested and facilitating the performance of the testing procedure under a shorter timeframe and initiating lesser laboratory wares expenditure. The device is comprised of a clear and transparent tubular container, subdivided into a larger main longitudinal chamber integrated with two adjacent smaller longitudinal chambers therein. One of the smaller longitudinal chambers being calibrated to the equivalence of the routinely accepted specific gravity urinometer (hydrometer) and, inside this chamber is a small flotation component for determining the specific gravity of the urine specimen trapped therein. The second smaller longitudinal chamber contains a built-in chemical reagent strip so that upon the entrance of urine specimen, color changes in the strip will result in determining the quali-quantitative approximate levels of ph, protein, glucose, bilirubin, ketones, free hemoglobin, and urobilinogen found in each urine specimen. The device has a thin flattened double-walled cul-de-sac-like lower section to accommodate the urine sediments after centrifugation providing a means for the microscopist to investigate the formed constituents of the urine sediment under a microscope. A special cap has a factory placed powdered stain which can be released into the urine specimen contained in the larger main chamber, just before centrifugation in order to bring about greater visual contrast of the various constituent elements found in each particular specimen's urinary sediment to effect better microscopic analysis of the urine. The entire compact sanitary urinalysis unit is made to be disposable after a singular use.
