Proper Dipping Technique for Siemens Urinalysis Strips
Handling of the urine test strips with the new ID bands has not changed . Be sure to continue to
use the proper handling technique stated in the product labeling to optimize test processing.
• Do not touch any of the test pads, including the ID bands.
• Proper dipping technique is to dip the test pads fully in the sample and then
drag the edge of the strip against the container rim to remove excess
solution. Blot the edge of the strip when using CLINITEK 50 and CLINITEK
Status analyzers.
Note The ID band can be dipped if proper dipping technique is used to remove
excess solution.
