A comparison of three methods for determining the concentration of rat urine.
The concentrations of 78 rat urines were compared using osmometry, refractometry and test strips for specific gravity. Test strip specific gravity values are a guide to urine concentration; where small changes of urine concentration are expected, the test strips should not be a replacement for more accurate methods such as osmometry.
