Errors arising from incorrect orientation of E test strips

Urine Test Strips

Procedure and Notes • Use only well mixed, non-centrifuged urine, which should not be older than 4 hours. First morning urine is recommended. Protect the samples from light. • If the samples cannot be tested immediately, they should be stored at 2...4°C and brought to room temperature (15...25°C) before testing. • Collect specimen in clean, well rinsed containers, free of detergents. Do not add...

Potential errors in the measurement of total protein in male rat urine using test strips.

Widely differing results were obtained for urinary protein determinations in male rats using 2 test strips and a quantitative Coomassie Blue sodium dodecyl sulphate method. A comparison of the sensitivity of the protein methods with respect to rat albumin and alpha 2U globulin was made; both test strips were found to be relatively insensitive to the presence of alpha 2U globulin. Resultant limi...

An Algorithm for Reducing Text Line Candidates of Incorrect Orientation

Japanese documents often contain both horizontally and vertically printed text lines in the same page. It has been required for document analysis systems to detect correct orientation of text lines and to select text line candidates of correct orientation. We designed an efficient framework for the procedure and developed some algorithms which reduce text line candidates of incorrect orientatio...

Discussion Arising from Session on Prostaglandin E

Dr. Stitt stated he felt that Dr. Mitchell's generalization, that large animals such as sheep did not produce fevers in response to intracerebral injections of PGE, was inaccurate, since there were at least two reports in the literature by Bligh and Milton and by Hales that documented such fevers. Dr. Mitchell acknowledged this fact, but added that these injections of PGE were given intracerebr...
