Reproducibility of reading "N-Multistix" dipsticks by a semi-automated urinalysis instrument (Ames' "Clini-Tek") has been described for artifically prepared samples. Glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, and nitrite showed high reproducibility (greater than 90%) for reading multiple samples at predetermined analyte concentrations. Determination of proteinuria showed the lowest proportion of false positives (2-3%) and false negatives (0%). Determination of hemoglobinuria and bilirubinuria by dipsticks were the least reproducible. Urobilinogen showed no interference from bilirubin in concentrations up to 32 mg/liter. Precision was high for results for quality-control capsules provided by the manufacturer.
