• To avoid interference with the REDOX reaction of vitamin C in the product, do not take any medications containing vitamin C or eat fruits rich in vitamin C within 12 hours before using the test strip. Failure to do so may result in inactivation of the colloidal gold in the product, resulting in a false negative result.
• Avoid using this test kit during treatment with high doses of anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, antibiotics and other drugs, as these drugs may increase the concentration of protein in the urine, and if the urine test results show proteinuria exceeding the + level, it may interfere with the reaction of the product.

Dementia Type Identification:

• The biomarker detected by this product is Aβ (Total Amyloid β), so the main types of dementia involved are: Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Dementia.

The best storage condition of the kit is 4-25℃ (room temperature) cool storage, sealed state has been confirmed, valid for 18 months.

• The amount of sample to be added is approximately 100 µL of fresh urine (equivalent to approximately 4 drops using the supplied dropper). Do not drop too much, the drop rate should be controlled correctly at the sample well position of the kit.
  (Must use a sterile disposable dropper pre-packaged in the original packaging – do not replace it with another device to avoid volume errors.)
• Place the test strip horizontally on a flat surface for 10 minutes to read the result. Kits with a reaction time exceeding 15 minutes will not be considered valid for interpretation of results.

• Positive: Aβ levels are higher than normal, indicating a high risk of developing AD (Azheimer’s disease).
• Advice:

1. Please check your potential risk factors accordingly and adjust your lifestyle.
   (Reduce alcohol and smoking, get quality sleep, etc.)
2. Recommended to repeat once or twice in 2 months.
3. If the test is still positive, you should see a doctor for further testing.

• Negative: Aβ levels remain normal.
• Advice: If negative, re-monitor every 6-12 months.

• Positive: Purple-red bands in both the test region (T) and control region (C).
• Negative: One purple-red band in the control region (C) and no purple-red band in the test region (T).
• Invalid: No purple-red band in the control region (C), indicating malfunction or damage to the test kit.

The test kit (test strip) is designed for human urine samples.

1. The sample must be collected in a clean, dry container. Urine can be collected at any time of the day. Fresh urine does not require processing. It is recommended to drink 200–300 mL of water 30–60 minutes before collecting the urine sample.
2. Samples should be used as soon as possible after collection and should not be stored at room temperature for more than two hours. If refrigerated, they can be stored at 2–8°C for up to six hours before testing. Refrigerated samples should be brought to room temperature and thoroughly mixed before testing.
3. Do not use frozen and thawed samples unless for research purposes.
