Artificial Urine for anatomy and physiology labs can eliminate all of the problems associated with real urine while still providing very realistic urinalysis tests.
Don’t let the fear of contracting contagious diseases through body fluids stop you from doing urinalysis laboratories. Artificial urine eliminates the potential problems associated with real urine while providing very realistic urinalysis tests.
This 1-L bottle of artificial urine can be used to perform hundreds of urinalysis tests. Recipes are provided so you can create urine samples with different compositions for testing. Elements, such as glucose, salt, protein, epithelial cells and red blood cells, can be added to create realistic conditions for detection via urinalysis tests. The pH, color, odor and specific gravity can easily be altered to create still other conditions for testing.
Very Safe—Contains no real body fluids or components.
