This product is a home urine collection kit that analyzes urine via microscopy and bacterial culture to detect and identify urinary tract infections (UTIs). It helps determine if bacteria are present in the urinary tract and, if so, which specific organisms are causing the infection.
Combines microscopic examination and bacterial culture for more accurate UTI detection
Useful when you have symptoms like burning, frequency, or discomfort during urination
Identifies organism type to help guide effective treatment
Convenient collection at home, with lab processing by certified microbiology labs
A positive result indicates bacteria growth; further consultation is needed to determine the right antibiotic or treatment
A negative result does not always rule out infection—some organisms require special testing methods
Always interpret results in combination with symptoms and medical history
This test is for informational use only and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis
All samples are processed by accredited microbiology laboratories

Usually urine does not contain significant numbers of any microorganism, but if bacteria are introduced into the urinary tract, they can multiply and a urinary tract infection (UTI) can develop. For a urine culture test, a sample of urine is examined under the microscope and cultured for 18 hours to check for any bacterial growth. If there is an infection found, the culture is extended so the laboratory can determine an effective antibiotic which will be able to fight the infection.
Protein can temporarily appear in the urine when there is infection or inflammation in the urinary tract. If it persists it can be a sign of underlying illness causing the kidneys to leak protein. This test uses a urine dipstick to provide an estimate of the amount of protein present in a urine sample.
This test checks for the presence of red and white blood cells in the urine which may arise for a number of reasons including an infection or problems with the kidneys and bladder.
If the body's cells don't get enough glucose, fat is burned instead for energy. This produces a substance called ketones, which can show up in your blood and urine. High ketone levels in urine may indicate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of diabetes that can lead to serious health problems. If you have diabetes, ketones in urine can indicate you are not getting enough insulin.
The kidneys are one of the most important mechanisms the body uses to maintain a constant body pH. Measuring urine pH can help to assess kidney function.
Urobilinogen is formed from the breakdown of bilirubin, a substance found in the liver that aids in the breakdown of red blood cells. Normal urine contains some urobilinogen.
Red blood cells are not normally found in urine. They are released when there is inflammation or infection within the urinary tract.
White blood cells are key to your body's immune or defence system. They fight infections and protect your body from foreign invaders such as harmful germs and bacteria.
Urine contains many chemicals which on occasion can form solid crystals. It is normal to have a few small urine crystals but larger crystals or specific types of crystals can eventually form kidney stones. Testing for urine crystals helps to assess kidney health.
Epithelial cells line various surfaces of the body including the skin, blood vessels, organs and urinary tract acting as a protective barrier.
Urinary casts are tiny tube-shaped particles that may be found when a urine sample is examined under the microscope during a urinalysis test. Casts can be made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, kidney cells, protein or fat. The presence and content of a urinary cast help to assess kidney health and function.
A sample of urine is analysed under the microscope to check for any organisms which may cause an infection.
