Components
- » Lateral Flow Device (cassette format, consisting of a plastic case housing the reactive strip. It has a small round window where the sample is applied and a reading panel where results appear in 15-30 minutes)
- » Urine collector
- » Blue-capped tube with conditioning solution
- » Disposable plastic syringe
How to Use It
Step 1: Collect urine using the collector following the instructions carefully. Alternatively, a clean container (not provided) can be used.
Step 2: Using the syringe, collect 2 mL of urine and add it to the blue-capped tube containing the conditioning solution.
Step 3: Shake the tube for a few seconds, then unscrew the cap and add 4 drops of the mixture to the S area of the cassette.
Step 4: From this point, the sample advances by capillarity along the strip and the result is displayed after 15-30 minutes.
When to Use It
Suspect Inadvertent Gluten Exposure?
If you suspect you may have been inadvertently exposed to gluten, reduce fluid intake to concentrate the urine sample. Wait 6-9 hours after the suspected gluten ingestion before performing the test. If the exposure happened at dinner, collect the first morning urine.
Want Regular Monitoring of Your Gluten-Free Diet?
To check if you are following your gluten-free diet correctly, collect 3 urine samples over the week: 2 samples during the week and one reflecting weekend intake. For optimal timing, collect two samples late in the day and a third sample first thing in the morning. Reduce fluid intake in the hours (2-4 hours) before testing, as this can affect the result.
