LH 'dipstick' quantitation by reflectance meter.
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.
