How it Works
A prepared IDEXX UA Strip is placed on the test strip tray, which moves it into the analyzer and
under the reading head. The analyzer reads the gray reference pad first, and then reads each of
the test pads on the strip. Results are available in approximately 80 seconds.
IMPORTANT: Only IDEXX UA Strips can be used with the IDEXX VetLab UA Analyzer.
The analyzer contains light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light at various wavelengths. Reading
is done electro-optically, as follows:
LED
Test pad
Test strip
Phototransistor
A/D converter
(analog to digital)
Microprocessor
Semi-quantitative result
