Ascorbic acid - Vitamin C
Healthy, powerful and interfering
Be attentive
Consider that laboratories testing urine samples regularly found
high amounts of ascorbic acid ( 400 mg/L) in a significant
proportion of a routinely tested population
1
Identify the problem
Recognize the potential of ascorbic acid interference on urine test
strips based on the peroxidase redox indicator test principle
Diminish adulterating influences
Eliminate the interference of ascorbic acid in urine test strips
and prevent false negative results, which necessitate a retest-
ing of patients or a more expensive microscopic examination
Find the answer
Do not miss the opportunity to detect symptoms of a potentially
serious disease. Use ascorbic acid resistant urine test strips
and detect immediately reliable and precise results
Solve the problem
Use iodate impregnated components to minimize the influence
of ascorbic acid on blood and glucose test pads even under
high levels of ascorbic acid (up to 750 mg/L)
Feel safe
Avoid potentially serious and costly consequences of false
negative results for doctor and patient using iodate impreg-
nated urine strips such as applied in Combur-Test
