	Dipstick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dipstick is one of several devices dipped into a liquid to perform some kind of chemical test or measurement of the quantity of the liquid.
		For example, medical dipsticks are used to test urine samples for hemoglobin, nitrite (produced by bacteria in a urinary tract infection), protein, glucose and occasionally urobilinogen or ketones.
		Dipsticks can be used to meaure the quantity of liquid in an otherwise inaccessible space, by inserting and removing the stick and then checking the extent of it covered by the liquid.

	LEPTO DIPSTICK
		Dipstick and reagents should be stored at +4°C to 25°C, in a dry place and protected from exposure to sunlight.
		Remove the dipstick from the mixture of detection reagent and serum and rinse the white test strip briefly with running tap water or water from a wash bottle.
		Although the results of the Lepto dipstick are found to be in agreement with those of the ELISA for the detection of Leptospira-specific IgM antibodies neither 100% sensitivity nor 100% specificity is claimed.

	DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF URINE DIPSTICK IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
		The dipstick results were compared with the results of automated urinalysis in the laboratory, leukocyte counts on microscopy and urine culture.
		Substituting a urine dipstick test for a laboratory analysis may be less time-consuming and less expensive, but the dipstick may not be as accurate.
		Several investigators have concluded that the urine dipstick is nonspecific in diagnosing urinary tract infection.

	Urinalysis Dipstick Interpretation
		The dipstick analysis should be performed as soon after collection as possible (ideally within 30 minutes of collection) and the sample should be well mixed prior to testing.
		Hemorrhage is confirmed by a positive occult blood reaction on the dipstick and the presence of red blood cells in the sediment.
		Because the dipstick test is easy to perform and economical, all veterinary practices should be able to perform this test in house rather than submitting samples to an outside laboratory.

		When setting up the dipstick the start foot will be relative to somewhere on the shoulder stripe and the back foot will be centered directly over this survey pin.
		The surface elevation is measured using a plate that is representative of the dipstick foot which can be added to the raw dipstick data in comparing elevation profiles from several different dipstick instances.
		Generally all of the dipstick data is stored on the hard drive (C:) of the computer when analysis is being conducted.

	CTF Full Text Review: Dipstick Proteinuria Screening and Renal Disease
		Dipstick urinalysis is a simple, noninvasive test for the detection of proteinuria, often a marker of unsuspected chronic renal disease.
		By comparison, the cost of a urine dipstick analysis is approximately 30 cents per test which translates to $7 million if all adults were to be screened in Canada.
		Although urine dipstick screening in the general adult population could provide another window of opportunity to screen for and modify cardiovascular risk factors in the general population, no study has yet addressed this issue.

		The OraQuick dipstick diagnostic is a rapid, point-of-care test for use in detecting antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 in oral fluid; finger stick and venous whole blood; and plasma samples.
		A test using dipsticks for the rapid diagnosis of plague, developed and evaluated at the Institut Pasteur in Madagascar and in Paris, now makes it possible to detect this disease in 15 minutes at a patient’s bedside.
		Although the disease is restricted to the southern half of Asia, as many as 80 percent of people in scrub typhus areas are infected at some point, accounting for 20 percent of all fever observed in those regions.

	Dalmatian Club of America - Dipsticking to Monitor Stone-Forming Dalmatians
		With a program of regular dipsticking and keeping a diary of the results, any Dalmatian can be tracked to detect when and how long it is producing abnormal and unstable urine, often much before abnormal crystals progress into stone formation.
		Dipsticking is best done first thing in the A.M. before feeding and after the Dalmatian has been indoors overnight when urine has accumulated in the bladder over the course of many hours.
		All Dalmatians are born with a tendency to acidic urine in which the occurrence and growth of abnormal urate crystals and stones thrive.

	Why does one side of my dipstick read so much higher than the other side? - NASIOC

		The dipstick tube should be bent to come around the backside of the exhaust dump or you might find some headers that will work since all the manifolds are just corks anyway.
		if your dipstick is on the drivers side rear you can use the logs (off a 70's camaro), just plug the smog rail holes.

		Engine blow by will shoot your dipstick out too, if it happens again you may have a problem.

		Now when you look at the engine oil dipstick, one side has L on the bottom and F on the top with their respective holes.
		Also, when I pull the dipstick the oil is usually smuged all over so I don't know where to make the reading.
		I've done a combination of the two things suggested in this thread: read the dipstick after the car has been sitting for quite some time (overnight usually works best) and trying to find the area on the dipstick that is most covered with oil, as recommended by drees.

	RE: No tranny dipstick?
		Push the Oil Dipstick 9336 into transmission fill tube until the dipstick contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if necessary.
		Determine the height of the oil level on the dipstick and using the height, the transmission temperature, and the transmission fluid graph, determine if the transmission oil level is correct.
		Once the oil level is correct, install the dipstick tube cap.

	Anyone Else Have Problems Reading The Dipstick? - Club RSX Message Board
		Whenever you put the dipstick back in to get a reading, you end up with oil all over it and you can't get an accurate idea of the oil level.
		Its also a pain in the ass that the dipstick pulls out to the back of the car, and not the front.
		It is also true that the olil expands a bit when hot, but when it is cold all the oil has drained back into the pan and is a bit darker which makes reading the dipstick easier.
