Uric Acid Meters
The uric acid meter range
This page covers uric acid meters, instruments that measure uric acid concentration in capillary whole blood. The company's category page names one uric acid meter model, UA-105, as a directory listing. No specification table that names UA-105 is published on the company's website, so UA-105 has no dedicated specification page on this site, and no table on this page is presented as the UA-105 specification.
The table below is a family-level specification table for uric acid monitoring systems. It comes from a uric acid instrument specification table published on the company's website whose page did not name UA-105. It is recorded here only as a family-level reference, labelled as such, and must not be read as the specification of UA-105 or of any other named model.
What buyers usually ask about uric acid meters
Buyers sourcing uric acid meters usually ask about measurement range, measurement time, sample size, memory capacity, strip type and operating conditions. The family-level table below gives one published set of figures for those questions at family level: a measurement range of 180–1190 umol/L (3–20 mg/dL), a measurement time of 20 seconds, a sample size of at least 1.5 microlitres, memory of 360 tests, and a strip type of US 101. Again, those figures are family-level figures, not UA-105 figures, and a buyer needing a UA-105 specification should ask for it to be confirmed in writing.
Sample type in the family-level table is fresh capillary whole blood from the finger, with switchable units of umol/L or mg/dL, coding calibration, and average values over 7, 14 and 28 days. Operating temperature is 10–40 degrees Celsius, and strip storage temperature is 1–30 degrees Celsius. Those conditions are family-level conditions as listed.
Ordering notes
For UA-105 specifically, specifications, strip supply, packing and availability must be confirmed in writing, because no UA-105 specification table is published on the company's website. The company FAQ states that prices vary with supply and market factors, that international orders are subject to an ongoing minimum order requirement with no fixed figure published, that samples take about 7 days, and that mass production takes 20–30 days after deposit. Certificates are available upon request.

How uric acid meters are used
Uric acid meters are used where a quick uric acid reading is needed outside a central laboratory, in the same general pattern as glucose and hemoglobin meters: a small capillary blood sample, a strip, and a meter that reports a concentration. The family-level table on this page gives a measurement range, a measurement time of 20 seconds, a sample size of at least 1.5 microlitres and a strip type of US 101, all at family level.
For trade buyers, the practical questions mirror those for other meter families: which meter, which strip, what packing, what languages and what price. Because no UA-105 specification is published, those questions carry extra weight for uric acid meters, and each one should be confirmed in writing with the model name.
Family-level tables and their limits
A family-level table is a published set of figures that belongs to a product family rather than to a named model. It provides one published reference set for inquiry preparation; it does not establish the performance range of the whole family. Its limit is that it must never be quoted as a named model's specification, in a quotation, in a tender or in a product listing. This site labels every family-level table as such, and buyers quoting from this site should preserve that label.
When a model-specific specification becomes available for UA-105 through written confirmation, it will replace the family-level figures for that model in the buyer's own documentation. Until then, the family-level table is the only published reference, and it should be cited as a family-level reference.
