The Microstix system has been tested, in parallel with dipslides, for suitability as a screening technique for the detection of bacteriuria. Results obtained using each method on 228 urine specimens were assessed by comparison with the results of quantitative counts. Dipslides had a higher sensitivity (86-7%) than Microstix. The best specificity (100%) was obtained from those results (77-6%) where both components of the Microstix system were in agreement. Advantages of Microstix are its greater shelf-life and its compactness.
已将Microstix系统与浸涂玻片法同时进行测试，以评估其作为检测菌尿症筛查技术的适用性。通过与定量计数结果相比较，对使用这两种方法检测228份尿液标本所得结果进行了评估。浸涂玻片法的灵敏度（86.7%）高于Microstix系统。当Microstix系统的两个组件结果一致时（77.6%），特异性最高（100%）。Microstix系统的优点是保质期更长且更为紧凑。
