7. Blot long edge of strip on absorbent paper to remove excess urine. DO NOT blot the top
surface of the pads to avoid contamination (Fig. 13). Work quickly to blot excess urine.
Delays in blotting may affect results.
8. Place strip on the UA Strip Tray. The end of the strip should align with the end of the trough
in the Strip Tray, approximately where the top cover of the UA analyzer is indented (Fig. 14).
This step MUST be completed before the countdown timer reaches 35 as the Strip Tray
will begin to slide into the analyzer. The UA analyzer will time the reactions and scan when
appropriate.
WARNING! If the Strip Tray has already moved into the analyzer to start scanning before the
strip is placed in the tray, the run must be canceled. For best results, a new strip will have to
be wetted to restart the testing.
