Roche Combur tests are urine test strips used for the rapid and reliable diagnosis of various health conditions. These tests detect parameters such as protein, glucose, nitrite, pH, leukocytes, and other important indicators. They are widely used in doctors' offices, clinics, and laboratories and are considered highly accurate and user-friendly.

• Glucose test zone
• Leukocyte test zone
• Nitrite test zone
• Protein test zone
• Erythrocyte test zone

Combur 5 Test® HC detects substances excreted in urine and can therefore provide indications of diseases, even if no symptoms have yet occurred.

This allows, for example, urinary tract infections to be detected at an early stage, chronic kidney diseases – which often cause hardly any symptoms for many years – to be discovered, and previously undetected diabetics to be identified.

• quick and easy test execution
• The Combur 5 Test® HC strip is immersed in the urine sample.
• The test result is available after 60-120 seconds.
• The findings section of the instructions for use can be used to document and discuss the test result with the doctor.

Outstanding product quality

• High-quality test strip design for maximum reliability and ease of use.
• Significant color changes of the test fields even with minor pathological changes in the urine
• Clear result display through homogeneous color development on the test fields.
• simple result evaluation based on a color comparison scale, specifically for colorfast varnish printing.
• High diagnostic accuracy – for doctor and patient

Vitamin C resistance

• Approximately 20% of all urine samples contain high concentrations of vitamin C.
• Vitamin C present in the urine sample can cause false-negative test results on the test strips for blood and glucose.
• The consequence: diseases may not be identified immediately and necessary therapies may be initiated only with a delay.
• The solution: the use of vitamin C-neutralized test strips such as Combur 5 Test® HC; this largely avoids false-negative results in the blood and glucose test fields.
• A comparison of five common urine test strips revealed that only the Combur-Test product line is largely resistant to the effects of vitamin C! (Source: Clinical Laboratory, 2006: 52:149-153)
