Carci Reagent

Product detailed description

Procedure:

1. Always use fresh first morning urine (midstream urine) collected into any clean container without traces of cleaning agents and disinfectants for the test.
2. Cover the ampoule with the protective plastic cap and carefully break off the tip of the ampoule. Handle the ampoule carefully as it contains acid. Perform the test immediately after opening the ampoule.
3. Suck up a urine sample into the pipette.
4. Add 3 ml of urine to the ampoule (repeat until you fill the urine up to the mark on the ampoule).
5. After 3-5 minutes of exposure, evaluate the color of the liquid (or possible sediment) by visually comparing it with the color scale provided in the package.
6. After evaluation, determine whether the detection of tyrosine content in the urine is negative or positive (the table can provide an approximate indication of the amount of tyrosine in the urine). In case of a positive result, please follow the instructions in this package leaflet. (Note, after longer reaction (more than 10 minutes) urine with reagent mixture degrades and the color no longer corresponds to the possible test result)

Evaluation (according to the attached color scale):

Result No. 1, 2, 3: NEGATIVE - Tyrosine content in urine is not elevated.

Result No. 4, 5: POSITIVE - Tyrosine content in urine is slightly elevated.

We recommend consulting the result with a doctor and inquiring about the health status.

Result No. 6, 7, 8: POSITIVE - Tyrosine content in urine is significantly elevated. We recommend visiting a doctor and addressing the test result promptly. Result No.9 - The test failed.

The test result can be falsely positively influenced, for example, by hormonal drugs, leukemia drugs, ethanol extracts in traditional medicine, neurological drugs, amino acid drugs and nutrients, protein drugs, and salicylic acid-based drugs. The test result can be influenced both falsely positively and falsely negatively by the composition of foods and nutrients. For this reason, we recommend avoiding, for example, foods high in protein, high in fat, dairy products, coffee, tea, and alcohol for at least 48 hours before performing the test. These foods include: cheese, chocolate and citrus fruits, preserved sardines, tomatoes, milk, drinks with lactic acid, cheese, animal liver, beef, yogurt, condensed milk, sausages, ham, fermented foods, beans, lentils, pineapple, bananas, figs, grapes, vinegar, seafood and fish. Finally, the result may be influenced by the patient's physical condition (fatigue, stress) or other diseases such as diabetes, bilirubinemia (liver disease), gastric ulcers (Helicobacter pylori) or other diseases causing unusual urine color.
