Adrenal Function Test Kit (5 tests) - Uses Urine to Test Brand: Osumex
Product Description
Test your adrenal function.
Monitor your health through your adrenals
This kit allows you to test your adrenals five times
Purpose of the test
Measure the salt (Sodium chloride NaCl) content in an urine sample quickly and accurately using a simple titration procedure.
Pharmacology of the test
Determination of the salt content in urine is based on the reaction of silver ions with chloride ions and silver chloride is precipitated quantitatively. The end point of the reaction is made visible by the presence of the activator. During the test, the urine sample remains light to dark yellow. When the urine sample turns to a light brown hue (see image), the test is complete. It is important to count the number of drops of indicator added. Once this colour is achieved, addition of more indicator will cause the colour to darken.
A trial sample of 1% NaCl is provided so that the user can practise to recognise the completion of the test through final colour change as provided.
Urine Sample
It is recommended that "fresh" urine sample should be collected for use.
Pipettes
Use only the pipettes provided in the kit as the drop size of the indicator solution is important and will affect reading of the result against the chart provided. Please use use one pippete for each solution (urine, activator, indicator) otherwise using the same pippete for all the solutions may cause contamination and affect the result
Testing with the standard trial 1% Salt sample provided
Carry out the test as follows:
-Add 10 drops of the salt solution to the test tube
-Add 1 drop of the activator solution, swirl the test tube to mix the solutions
-Add indicator solution drop by drop slowly, mixing the contents of the test tube after each drop taking note of the number of drops that has been added
