title: Ascorbic acid and test strip reactions for haematuria.
abstract: The inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on commercial test strip reactions for haematuria is demonstrated in vitro. A new test strip containing iodate is shown to be insensitive to even high ascorbic acid concentrations in the same in vitro experiments.
