About P100
What is Purine P100?
P100 is a lab-formulated powdered synthetic urine formulated to match the chemical and physical properties measured in urinalysis. For lawful simulation, calibration, research, and educational use only.
What is P100 formulated with?
Urea, creatinine, uric acid, balanced pH, and correct specific gravity. Unisex formula.
Why is P100 powdered?
The powdered format means P100 reconstitutes fresh at use and requires no other preservatives. One-year shelf life when sealed.
Can P100 be used for science projects or classroom demonstrations?
Yes. P100 is used by educators, students, and parents for chemistry demonstrations covering the parameters measured in urinalysis, including specific gravity, pH, urea, and creatinine. It is prepared fresh from powder, which also makes it useful for teaching solubility and solution preparation.
Do you offer pricing for schools or educational programs?
What can P100 demonstrate in a lab or classroom setting?
The formulation matches the chemical and physical properties measured in standard urinalysis, so it works for demonstrating specimen validity testing, dipstick chemistry, specific gravity measurement, and pH testing without handling biological material.
Preparation
How do I prepare P100?
Pour the powder into the 50ml vial. Fill to the very top with water. Cap tightly and shake until dissolved. Attach one heating pad to the back of the vial, opposite the temperature strip. Wait for 90–99°F. Use the second heating pad to speed up if needed. Verify temperature before use.
What temperature should P100 be?
90–99°F. Verify with the included temperature strip before use.
Why does the strip show no reading?
The formula is either too cold or too hot. Let it warm up or cool down until the strip reads within 90–99°F.
What if the temperature goes over 99°F?
Remove the heating pad and gently blow on the vial until it returns to 90–99°F.
Can I add more water?
Yes. Up to 25ml additional water (75ml total). Do not exceed 75ml.
Shelf life when sealed?
One year from manufacture date, stored per instructions.
Are extra heating pads available?
Yes. Available at purchase — recommended if preparation timing is uncertain.
