I would agree with Derek.
Also the discriminatory levels for the albumin are 10mg/l (which all urines have) and then 30mg/l which is a bit high for screening as ideally want 20mg/l.
I also have looked at Biostat's Quikread and Haemocue's albumin measurements. The DCA wins hands down.

Does anyone use Bayer Microalbumin sticks with the
Clinitek 50 strip reader? We have just done a small
study which seems to indicate a number of false
negatives due to over-estimation of the urine
creatinine. Has anyone else noted this?
