"Ictotest has been used as the “gold standard” method to confirm urine strip positive bilirubin results in several different clinical studies. We are planning an additional study here at Kentucky Clinical Trials Laboratory as well. The value added here is the fact that Ictotest has been known to reduce the number of false positive results. This would, in turn, impact both the care and cost of care of patients."
