Uriscreen - Uriscreen is a rapid screen for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. Uriscreen detects Catalase activity. Most organisms that commonly cause Urinary Tract Infection are Catalase positive. Additionally, Catalase activity is an indicator of white blood cells in urine. White blood cells are a common indicator of Urinary Tract Infection. Uriscreen tubes contain a reagent powder, which enables Catalase detection. Urine is added to the tube to the line indicated, a few drops of hydrogen peroxide solution are added. Production of foam indicates Catalase activity. Catalase activity is indicative of bacteria and/or white blood cells in the urine. Most bacteria that commonly cause urinary tract infection are Catalase positive. The presence of bacteria and/or white blood cells in the urine are clearly indicative of Urinary Tract Infection.
