Ordering the test
You can conveniently order the Carci Reagent® test kit for your personal prevention online.
How does the Carci Reagent® test work?
The test uses a simple chemical reaction between the contents of the ampoule and the tyrosine metabolites present in urine. During the reaction, the colour of the test solution changes, and the user compares it with the enclosed colour scale. This change may indicate an elevated level of the monitored substances in the body.
It is important to remember that this is an orientational test and it does not replace laboratory testing or a medical diagnosis. The result should always be assessed in the context of the overall health condition and, if needed, discussed with a physician.
What needs to be followed?
For the correct functioning of the Carci Reagent® test, the following is essential –
- use fresh first morning urine (midstream),
- work with clean tools without residues of disinfectants,
- handle the ampoule carefully, as it contains acid,
- follow the instructions exactly, including the recommended reading time.
Detailed information on how to perform the test correctly is available in the article How to perform the Carci Reagent® test.
When should you contact a doctor?
If your Carci Reagent® test is positive, or if you have symptoms regardless of the result, we recommend contacting your doctor. A home test is an excellent prevention tool, but the final word always belongs to a professional.
