One Step Urine Glucose Test Strips Diabetes Testing Kit 100 Dipsticks

Product Information

If glucose or ketones are found in the urine during a routine exam, a doctor will do additional testing to determine why this is happening. If there is high level of glucose in blood it is likely that urine too will have presence of glucose in it. Of the routine chemical tests performed on urine, the most indicative of renal disease is the protein determination.

Some urine test strips are protected against the interference with iodate, which eliminates ascorbic acid by oxidation. A urine test strip or dipstick is a basic diagnostic tool used to determine pathological changes in a patient's urine in standard urinalysis. Its uses have included wound healing, stimulation of the body's defences, and examinations for diagnosing the presence of diseases. Other manufacturers use a diazo coupling reaction (2) that uses 4-methoxybenzene-diazonium-tetrafluoroborate to produce colours that vary from white to pink.The test for nitrites is a rapid screening method for possible asymptomatic infections caused by nitrate-reducing bacteria. This allows the escape of conjugated bilirubin into the circulation as occurs in hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis). With a deep understanding of healthcare's scientific, social, and political dimensions, Ruth is known for her ability to translate complex medical concepts into clear and accessible language.

Multistix contains tetrabromophenol blue and Chemstrip contains 3’,3”,5’,5”-tetrachlorophenol, 3,4,5,6-tetrabromosulfonphthalein. All these urine tests include a screen for glucose in urine, and are a good screening test for diabetes. Nitrite-reducing bacteria need to remain in contact with nitrate for long enough to produce detectable amounts (first urine produced in the morning or at least with a urine retention of 4 hours). In many cultures urine was once regarded as a mystical fluid, and in some cultures it is still regarded as such to this day. Compare the colours of the reagent pads exactly after 60 seconds (Leukocytes after 90~120 seconds) with the colour chart on the vial label under good light.
