  • Patent number: 5606116
    Abstract: A testing system for urinalysis is provided comprising a support member which carries a developing phase, a reagent carrying means, a urine applying section, and a urine-reagent developing area. In order to prevent inaccurate test results which may result from splashing the sample onto the device, a water-repellent agent is coated onto both sides of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase, as well as onto both sides of the support member where the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase are provided. The water repellent agent is solidified, and a transparent resin film is attached to the upper surfaces of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase. In another embodiment, instead of the combination of a water repellent agent and a transparent resin film attached to the upper surfaces of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase, the device is enclosed in an envelope-like or cylindrical transparent resin film or container.
