Use Indigo® nitrate-nitrite strips to demonstrate urinalysis chemistry in classrooms. For educational purposes only, not for medical diagnosis.

Our nitrate-nitrite strips test strips can provide a simple way to demonstrate the principles of urinalysis in microbiology and clinical chemistry teaching. Nitrite in urine is a common indicator of bacterial activity, particularly in urinary tract infections (UTIs). While these strips are not certified for medical diagnosis, they are ideal for educational demonstrations, lab exercises, and training scenarios where students can visualize the nitrite reaction in a safe, controlled setting.

Details
Discipline Learning Outcomes / Key Features
Microbiology Understand how bacteria reduce nitrate to nitrite in the urinary tract; link chemical reactions to microbial metabolism.
Clinical Chemistry Demonstrate how nitrite testing is used as a preliminary UTI screening method; highlight limitations vs. confirmatory tests.
Nursing / Medical Technology Gain familiarity with strip-based urinalysis methods as part of lab training; practice interpreting results.
General Biology Explore diagnostic chemistry in human physiology; connect classroom lessons to real-world healthcare applications.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use synthetic or prepared urine simulants for classroom demonstrations.
  • Emphasize that these strips are for educational use only, not clinical diagnosis.
  • Compare strip testing with confirmatory lab methods (e.g., culture, spectrophotometry).
  • Frame exercises around limitations of screening tests and the importance of follow-up diagnostics.

Specifications
  • Nitrate is measured in increments of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, & 500ppm
  • Nitrite is measured in increments of 1, 5, 10, & 25ppm
  • The number of strips (50) per vial is approximate.
  • These strips are extremely sensitive to airborne humidity. Reseal the desiccant lined bottle immediately after removing a strip to ensure 3 year shelf life.
