An Erratum to this article was published on 24 July 2015

Express-test by the method of coherent fluctuation nephelometry for urine contamination was carried out on two prototype instruments with standard polystyrene photometric cuvettes. We analyzed 209 and 119 urine samples. Due to high sensitivity of the method, up to 50% negative samples were detected within 10 min by initial opacity and 90% negative samples were detected during 3.5 h by registration of the bacterial growth curves.
