IS THERE A CERTAIN TIME OF DAY WHEN I SHOULD CARRY OUT THE TEST?
It is recommended that, you test first thing in the morning, since early-morning urine is the most concentrated. Women should not perform the test during or for three days after your menstrual period. The urine sample should not be contaminated with vaginal fluids since this may produce a misleading result.
IF I DIPPED THE STRIP IN URINE FOR MORE THAN A SECOND WILL THIS AFFECT THE RESULT?
If you left the strip in the urine for 2-3 seconds this will not affect the result but if left for more than 5 seconds the results could be inaccurate.
Why should I use a fresh sample for this test?
Bilirubin and Urobilinogen are sensitive to light and can decompose if left for a long time. Accordingly, the results may not reflect the actual concentration of these two compounds in the urine sample since they would be partly decomposed.
