How it works :
A urine strip is a strip of plastic or paper which has different test pads impregnated with chemicals which change colour when dipped in urine. The colour change that happens gradually over a specified time period after dipping the strip helps you identify the concentration of different analytes in urine. Urine strips may be read visually, via timely comparison with a color chart provided by the strip manufacturer or via the use of a machine such as a semi-automated urine analyzer.

The uChek urine analyzer may be used in 2 modes.

A. Manual
In Manual mode, the uChek app assists the process of visual inspection, providing time-keeping and manual data logging functionality. The stored results may be analyzed as a trend over time, or sent via email.

B. Auto
In Auto mode, the uChek system ("uChek App" and "uChek Kit" together) perform the function of a semi-automated urine analyzer machine. The system may be used to automatically record the test strip result and log test data. The stored results may be analyzed as a trend over time, or sent via email.
