B.U.N Reagent Strips are a one minute test for blood urea nitrogen in whole blood, serum or heparinized plasma.

Test Procedure

Specimen Collection and Preparation: B.U.N. Reagent strips are intended for use with whole blood, serum or heparinized plasma only.

Specifications:

1. Range: 10-100 mg/dl

Proper timing is critical for this technique.

1. Apply 1 large drop (50-100 µL) of sample to the pad.

2. Wait 30 seconds.

3. Wipe sample off with a tissue. Use moderate pressure evenly on the reagent pad area. Remove all excess sample.

4. Wait an additional 30 seconds.

5. Compare color of the pad with the color chart to obtain B.U.N. value.
