title: LH 'dipstick' quantitation by reflectance meter.
abstract: The introduction of rapid semiquantitative methods using monoclonal antibodies to measure urinary LH has application to the management of the infertile couple. The interpretation of the colour change end-point has however been subjective and thus liable to misinterpretation with resultant problems in clinical management. This short communication describes the use of a modified reflectance meter to overcome these problems.
