Summary of AUBF LAB Tests for Protein and Glucose

AUBF LAB offers tests for protein and glucose in urine samples.
The protein test is based on the denaturation of protein or albumin, which causes precipitation when boiled in an acidic medium.
Reagents used for the protein test include heat to denature the proteins and acetic acid to enhance precipitation and sensitivity.
A positive result for the protein test is indicated by precipitation or cloudiness in the urine sample.
The glucose test uses Benedict's reagent, a chemical solution that detects reducing sugars in a sample.
The principle behind the glucose test is the reaction between reducing sugars and Benedict's reagent.
For the glucose test, a positive result is indicated by a color change in the presence of reducing sugars.
The Heller's test is another protein test that relies on the precipitation of proteins in the presence of mineral acids like nitric acid.
The precipitation of proteins by acids is dependent on changes in the pH of the solution.
In the Heller's test, nitric acid is used to acidify the urine sample.
A positive result for the Heller's test is indicated by the formation of a white ring at the point of contact.
The AUBF LAB tests for protein and glucose are used to assess the levels of these substances in urine samples.

Test your knowledge on the denaturation of protein or albumin with this quiz on the AUBF LAB A. Learn about the principles behind the precipitation of proteins when boiled in an acidic medium and the reagents used to enhance this process.
