Lodestar DX UTI test system

Urinary Tract Infections are a neglected disease. We need faster, more accurate and inexpensive UTI diagnostics to improve the way we treat patients and to allow us to reduce the volume of antibiotic prescriptions issued. The Lodestar UTI test has been developed to help combat the rise in both UTI and AMR. It has been designed for use in busy near patient settings where space, time and money is at a premium. By providing easily interpreted results Lodestar UTI helps to inform antibiotic decision making by clinicians in both human and veterinarian medicine. - UK Conformity Assessed (UK CA) - Tests for multiple bacterial pathogens simultaneously from one urine sample - Rapid: Sample-to-result in less than 40 minutes - Convenient: Test the sample at any time on the day of collection.
