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.
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. |
